Welcome To Base I period.

That's right, training has begun.  The goal is 7 hours which is a cross between weights and saddle time.  I am not going to count my time snowboarding, even though it's a great workout.  I may count a couple hours if I should board over 6 hours, which is common.

Base period focuses on Speed workouts, here's this weeks workout:

Monday: Gym Workout: Chest workout and cross training cardio (Basketball).

Tuesday: Merry Christmas

Wednesday:  Gym Workout: Triceps and Biceps.  Cross train cardio (Basketball): 2 hours total.

SPIN-UPS:  Bike on trainer.  Set to light resistance then every 5 minutes, spin up to max cadence and hold for 30 seconds.  Max cadence is as fast as you can without bouncing.  Do this for 45 minutes. 

Thursday:  OFF

Friday:  Gym Workout:  Legs, Back and Shoulders workout.  Cross cardio (basketball): 2 hours total.

ISOLATED LEG:  Bike on trainer.  Put one leg on pedal and pedal at 80-100 rpm until your leg is fatigued, then switch legs.  Focus on pedal technique.  Repeat 2 times.

FIXED GEAR:  Using a gear appropriate to your strength (using small chain ring and largest COG) so you can pedal at 90 rpms. Stay in HR Zone 2.  Do this for 20 minutes.

Saturday:  No Gym.  Bike on trainer.  Do an easy ride for 1 hour (boring)

Sunday:  No Gym.  Bike on trainer.  Do an easy ride for 1.5 hours (very boring).
