wickedwordsRide Length: 5 miles
Elevation: 0 (on trainer)
Where: Inside the house
How long: 30 minutes
Max speed: 18.3 mph
Avg speed: 9.9 mph
Miles for Week 2: 10
Miles for Year 2012: 35
Goal: Speed Work
warm-up: 5 minutes
Repeats: (1 min @ 3.5, 16 MPH, 4 min @2.5, 10.5-11 MPH) - X4
Cool down: 5 minutes
This is what I think is my most critical issue: I am darn slow. I am not even up to the 'steady' criteria on the group ride descriptions, and I am barely into the 'leisurely' pace. So I figure if I try to do speed repeats one day a week, that should help. Just have to grow it over time.
