2 workouts in 12 hours

Posted February 9th, 2010 by mike

Well, trainer riding is in full effect right now.  Silly snow and weather.

Last night, nothing too exciting.  I’m in the process of getting my body built up and prepped for the next upcoming weeks.  So, it was just a simple, hour long ride, keeping my heart rate in zone 2.  Nothing to difficult, nothing to fancy.

I got up early, early for me anyway, at around 6:30 this morning and went right back down to the rollers.  I thought I had something planned tonight, but it turns out I don’t, but either way, I still rode this morning.  The task, to build up muscle endurance and work on the fast twitch muscle fibers, so a couple reps of spin ups was the task.  Over the span of a minute, work my way up to the max cadence, without bouncing, and hold it for a minute.  Pretty good stuff that should pay off later in the year.  The more impressive thing was my max cadence for the workout, which was 177.  Yes, I accomplished spinning myself up to 177 rpm on my rollers at about 7:50 this morning.  I am kinda proud of that.?
