Well, as you may know, I am in my Base 2 period, however I am have serious issues staying on the bike for even an hour. I am getting so bored and restless on the bike. It’s too a point where I don’t even look forward to riding. This tells me I haven’t taken a long enough break from training, so here’s how I’m adjusting my schedule:
I am going to reduce my saddle time to two hours over the next two weeks. This works well with the holidays. One ride will be Force and Speed Workouts and the other will be Endurance. If I ride more than an hour each time great. If I ride more than two days, great. I am going to focus on strength training over the next two weeks. I enjoy this part, even though it requires me getting up at 4:30 am. That part is not so cool, but it get’s it out of the way.
I am trying to prevent early burnout so I’m hoping this works. After two weeks, I start Base 3 and then Build 1. There is no looking back after that so it will be important that I am WELL motivated by then. Crossing my fingers.
oh please tell me where you got the snow falling in your blog....aggggghh... i must have that too!!!!
