The Strava 100 Running Challenge was for me the perfect -and necessary- stimulus to:
In summary, during these last 4 weeks I averaged:
‘Intervals’ is one form of training at Uddevalla’s bike club (UCK) where speed and strength are under focus (instead of endurance) and ‘race-like’ situations are practiced.
UCK intervals range from:
Last Thursday's interval training combined all the above.
Today we were out for our first 2011 ride (two weeks earlier than last year's first ride). Temperatures were "quite ok" (5-6 deg C) but there was still plenty of snow on the roads. Not too safe on our tyres.
The most important training asset I have is -beyond doubt- my Garmin Forerunner 205. It was a present from Mrs K back in 2008, and since then it has been a loyal companion during many running and cycling miles.
Until today, I had not been able to use my cycling shoes at spinning, having thus to fight with straps around running shoes, leading to degrading pedaling technique.
The reason had been the incompatibility between my shoe cleats (shimano SPD-SL) and the ones required by almost every spinning bike (shimano SPD).
