Workout #8 : Bike
SubLT-Crisscross to LT
Sub-threshold intervals criss-cross to ‘fire hose’ the bathtub. If you fill up the bathtub about 3/4 full and then every two minutes, take a firehose to it, then right before it floods the bathroom floor, you turn it off, and let it drain out to 3/4's full again... repeat.... This will help to improve the size of your 'drain'. WU: 15 minutes at L2 Endurance MS: Do 3 x 1 minute fast pedaling intervals, at L3 Tempo with 1 minute of rest in between each. Crisscross 2x20 intervals with 10 minutes of recovery between each interval. Ride at watts of at Upper L3 Tempo (85-90%) and every 2 minutes, pop it up to L5 VO2Max (120%) for 30 seconds and then recover back to previous pace of Upper L3 Tempo. Recover for 10 minutes at L2 Endurance between each set. Finish with 2 VO2 max intervals: 2 x5 minutes L5 VO2Max. Rest for 5 minutes between each at L2 Endurance. CD: 15 minutes at L1 Active Recovery

Workout #9 : Bike
Group ride- working hard in the group
Make sure to get in some hard work today. Not just sitting in and waiting to sprint. Some good turns at the front and pushing the pace. NOT getting dropped from the group, but just on the edge and keeping the pressure on.
