Last week was another huge round of riding, as I finished off the week with rides on Thursday, Friday & Saturday, taking Sunday off. I clipped off another 23 last night with my buddy to get 424 for a total mileage in the month of July. I really kicked things up the last 3 weeks with getting more than 100, then 117, then 109 in about a 3 week period alone.
Never have I tried such a thing, but it was both exciting and eye-opening. Before I'd do some 20-30 mile rides but not too many on back to back rides or a series of consecutive nights.
It was also a great test for the Pre, Intra, and Post workout drinks that I use in the AdvoCare FIT system that I'm going through. The biggest eye-opening night was a 30 mile ride done in 1:45 for time, averaging about 17mph on the bike over that time frame. I was able to keep a great speed going and was able to power through some tough efforts of wind and heat.
This morning I tried a return to running again, doing 2 miles in about 14:45 in an interval workout.
4 minutes easy
4 minutes race pace
4 minutes easy
Remaining time was hard effort to finish out to 2 miles.
My foot feels okay, it was just the right mileage to begin with again after a layoff of running and boost in cycling.
The week is off to a good start!
Stay Strong,
Coach Rick
