Week of 12/1: Base 1 Starts

Blog Picture

The goal for this week is 7 hours.  Normally, Base 1 would have another speed workout in it, however I am doing a field test on Tuesday.  I'm going to try Chris Carmichaels test that he outlines in his book: The Ultimate Ride. It's a pretty straight forward test:

minimum of a 10m warm up, with 2 to 3 high intensity bursts.
Effort 1:  Ride three miles at 80-95 rpms.
10m active recovery
Effort 2 is the same as effort 1.
Cool down.

Record the data from each effort:  time of each effort, average HR, average power (if you have a meter, which I don't), average cadence, weather conditions, course conditions (doing on my trainer) and RPE.

My other workout days are weight lifting/core, a couple endurance/recovery rides and a speed exercise: S1-Spin-ups.
