I managed to stay within 2m of Armstrong and Ullrich's back wheels for a whole hour today.
It was a legendary ride through the Val de Livingroom. Surrounded by the stunning scenery of the sofa and dining table the motivation wasn't difficuly to find. Armstrong and Ullrich were battling it out for Tour de France glory on the video while I battled with the urge to get off and watch the rugby highlights.
But I stayed on and managed to complete the first indoor session of the winter. A
cycling performance tips workout that went as follows:
- 20 mins at 65% MHR
- 5 mins at 70-80%
- 7 intervals of peaking at 90% MHR and recovering to 70% MHR in between
- 5 mins at 70-80%
- 20 mins at 65% MHR
For the warm up and warm down I stuck with Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen's commentary as company but during the intervals I put on the iPod. Here's the Herneweb indoor training playlist:
- Call on me - Eric Prydz
- Pretty Green Eyes - Ultrabeat
- Cafe del Mar - Energy 52
- 10th and Crenshaw - Fat Boy Slim
- Santa Cruz - Fat Boy Slim
- Song for Lindy - Fay Boy Slim
- Rapture - IIO
- Castles in the Sky - Ian Van Dahl
