Things have been a little crazy for me the past couple of weeks. Long days at work followed by lazy evenings at home have ended with me not riding as much as I would like. So after a few days off last week to rest and recharge and one XL pizza (evidently one shouldn't ride hard for two hours and then not eat for nine hours) I am back to feeling human again. Which means intervals.
For those of you who have never trained for an endurance event, intervals are a group of workouts where you ride (insert run, swim, row, etc.) at a set intensity for a length of time, then spin at an easy to moderate pace for another length of time, before repeating it all over again. Intervals have been found to be the key to increasing endurance and speed, two areas I wouldn't mind improving.
But intervals are not fun. Some varieties, if performed correctly, will leave the participant dizzy and on the verge of loosing said XL pizza. All of this is for a good cause though.
This coming Sunday is my next OMBC race. Supposedly there is a fair bit of climbing which I get to look forward to. We'll see.
Later this week I will post a quick review of my new saddle. I am not sure which way the review will swing as every time I ride it my opinion changes.
