I’m not very good at this
and by this I mean training on a bicycle.
Since last Tuesday’s 2x20 session I’ve managed to do no hard training at all.
Wednesday I got 10 minutes at tempo done with a bit of speed work. Rested the next day and squeezed out 30 minutes on the trainer at a not very high intensity.
I went away for the weekend and I must admit thinking about it I had very little sleep and was on my feet for most of the time. I came into last nights training full of high hopes and was all set to hammer out a 2x20.
I failed.
Admittedly I changed my handlebars over to my new ones and hadn’t ridden it yet. The position felt alien, it felt too long and too low. I did the first 20 minutes and was pedaling in triangles. I raised the bars up 20mm for the second interval but only did 10 minutes, I just didn’t feel good. Too hot, too weak and too disappointed.
Tonight is cruise intervals, I like this workout as the shorter interval time keeps me motivated and I can do a lot more intensity and time before I get bored. I’m going to spend 30 minutes riding and trying to tweak the position of the new bars before starting the session. If I can’t get comfortable I might just give up and put the old ones back on for the time being.
