That which does not kill you, will only make you stronger!

So im back full throttle, with a new focus on developing power on the bike. This was definatly the most painful training week in a while. which is good = its working. janda (my coach-see his blog at http://www.jandariccimunn.blogspot.com/ ) is really tuning me up for worlds. my legs feel so heavy, yesterday at work i almost fell up the stairs 3 times.



introduving alot of short burst intervals and some weights is really going to help my cycling. the weather has also sucked this week down here in texas, so the motivation to get poored on was low. this helped - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIl5RxhLZ5U if you are ever lacking the drive for a workout, or think a trainer is a better option then dealing with the elements, watch this clip. totally motivating... i have the webster duathlon this sunday 2/11/2, so i hope my legs get a little lighter before then.

who's doing the webster du?

Make sure that you take it EASY today and tomorrow!!! Don't give in to the temptation of mashing a big gear on tomororw's shake out spin.

Keep the gearing light and the cadence elevated. Doing so will help to prime your legs/CNS for Sunday's race while at the same time allowing your system to continue to recover from the intensive training that you've been laying down.

Lastly, this race is a stepping stone, so don't worry if you're a little sore on Sunday. We have bigger fish to fry.
