So you are doing 15 x 30 second all out sprints but you don't get to really recover as such, you get to go at 90% of th for 90 seconds as your recovery.
Half of the battle is deciphering exactly what the program is asking you to do and at what intensity.
We do a lot of our intervals around Shelley where there is very little traffic and a flat 6k or so . It's next to the water and a lovely place to ride your bike.
It was out , back and out again to chew up the 30 mins which meant heading into the southerly twice. Because it wasn't hard enough already!
Averaged 33.1k which was ok as I probably wouldn't have gone over 30k doing that sort of intervals ride even six weeks ago.
Yesterday was pretty tough and today was pretty tough. Tomorrow is borderline ridiculous. We are doing 100 x 15 second intervals ( 15 seconds on 15 off ) x 20 then 5 mins rest x 5 sets where u try and get your bike up over 40 kph or so for each "on" 15 seconds and hold it - with Brend a bit quicker. We did 60 last Thursday and that nearly finished us off.
It will be interesting ( to us at least) to see how we fare tomorrow. To make matters worse Brend sailed thru this morning with significant pbs so he's going to be in an absolute feeding frenzy tomorrow.
I on the other hand are going to go to bed at about 4.30 pm this afternoon to give myself a chance to just get through it.
At what stage does a habit become an addiction? Second biggest commodity in the world behind oil.
Talk soon
