So happy that Trainer Road did this tour simulation on this week.
Really got me to rest my running legs and get some much needed cycling
practice in. Kind of like periodization where you make progress in one
discipline while another takes the back seat for a little while. I
really enjoyed this and by the end of the week I was in the top 5 for
cycling miles on slowtwitch's training log. Only time I have ever been
there! All biking miles this week.
Sunday: Stage 1, 29 miles in just under 1.5 hours.
Monday: Stage 2, 28 miles
Tuesday: Stage 3, 26.5 miles
Wednesday: Stage 4, 19 miles
Thursday: Stage 5, 24 miles ... can't believe I am still holding this strong!
Friday:
Stages 6 and 7, 55 miles total today. Why would I do a hilly stage and
a time trial all in one day? Wow, today hurt, but in a good, sadistic
way.
Saturday: Stage 8, 21 miles and their simulation
of going in loops with turns was very good. I actually felt like I was
hitting a turn while I was sitting stationary on a trainer.
203 miles total this week! Woohoo!
