Another day another session in the shed. This is completely going against my training schedule but when the roads are treacharous then the rack is the only resort.
I thought i would see how the 9x4 minute hill efforts would be like on the rack wasnt really expecting to much but to be fair i was pleasently surprised.
I decided to use resistance 7 on the tacx turbo which is only 2 nothches off max but due to the fact the gears will get 1 sprocket bigger everytime a set is complete i thought it would be progressive enough to get a decent tear up.
Have to say the session is best done on the road but today was an excellent session the only change being instead of starting on the 17 sprocket i started on the 16 and went down to the 12 then back up 9 in total. Every set i exceeded my target (O.B.L.A 164bpm) and knew i was there or there abouts as my cadence was around 60rpm when i was on the 12 sprocket.
Like i said previously this is predominately a road session but when you simply cannot get out on the road and doing nothing is not an option then this session will blow out a few cobwebs.
If the icy conditions continue then Sundays session will have to be 2 hours in the shed with big gear efforts should be different.
