After Fridays and Saturdays antics i was intigued to see how the legs felt today. The session was effectively a base ride but every 10 minutes i was to drop the gear into the biggest sprocket (12) and roll this along for 5 minutes with my H/R just climbing into the high 140's but no higher than 150bpm.
I have done similar sessions in the past but not quite as early in the season as this so i set off at 08:15 this morning with the plan being 4 hours my coach had said to me not to underestimate this session as it is quite tough so he suggested starting with 3 hours and gradually increasing week on week untill i am doing 4 hours or more.
I thought i knew best so with 4 hours and a route firmly entrenched in my head off i went.
The first 2 hours were superb really strong and my thoughts were "piece of piss this" but then around 2.5hours just after another 5 minute effort my legs completely went i will go back to my coach eating a large slice of humble pie.
I will try and do 3.5 hours next week but rest assured when i can achieved 4 hours+ of this session i will definately be in superb condition.
