Winter Cycling Training – Day 1 of Week 8

Another hard session on the trainer.

The workout called for six 3 minute intervals above my CP of 240 watts! And it called for the last interval to be 3 to 5 watts above the first five.

I was dreading this. I did not want to do this. I even had an excuse – I was tired from yesterday’s circuit training workout. But I knew I had to, so I climbed on the trainer.

The first interval was hard, but I got thought it. In fact, each interval was hard, but I did not quit. I did all six! And the last one was my best one. I am pleased. My legs are tired.
