After my Time Trial on tuesday, I felt it was necessary to listen to my body and give it a rest yesterday! Not too mention give my back that little extra time to better.
And I'm sure glad I did! I woke this morning feeling great, did a 30 minute cycle on the WattBike, sprinting every now and again, just testing myself and I felt good! I think i'm gonna incorporate this type of session more frequently, but more structured, so it'll go something like this:
30 Mins Cycle (Requirement: at all times keep above 90rpm)
Sprint the last 200m of every 1000m. (So sprint 800m - 1000m, 1800 - 2000, etc...) Hopefully going further each time I do the session (In terms of overall distance at the end!).
Last Minute of the cycle, ignore the distance and just smash out the last 30 secs.
Should be a decent workout, I'll record stats for it like my 60 minute test, so I can measure my performance!
I'll try and jump on the Slideboard tonight, ordered some "Booties" from Canada to put over my shoes, I think the Co-op will be pleased as I won't be stealing all there plastic bags! :P
I think improving my technique needs to be my focus over the winter, muscle can be built up anytime, but I need to be skating much more efficiently next season and the slideboard, and hopefully an extra indoor session should improve this!
