Today is one of the few days that I wish I had a turbo

Toks, how do you know it's 25 mile TT pace?
You should do a 25 mile TT to check.

No need to bother with that horrid lump of pig iron, 3+ hours on the mountain bike in the snow .

That seems a little excessive. I couldn`t get anywhere near that. 2x20 kills me and I need two days of recovery after that.

All I did was 5 x 5 mins steady, 5mins at near threshold. 70mins all told. I`ll do an hr steady tomorrow, day off Weds the 5 x 4 at vo2 max on Thurs,probably a rec spin on Fri and 3 hrs or so on Sat if it aint snowing.

Seems to be working slowly but surely, but we`ll find out in a couple of months time.

But would you do 60 or 70 minutes for a 25 , If it was 70mins for a 2nd cat then you'd have some explaining to do . Come on join the dark side for a day .

Haha, very good Grahame.

Rollers on the other hand, done my scheduled 45mins (Recovery ride Toks!).

Desperately hoping the snow doesn't hang around too long as I don't really want to spend the entire week on the rollers...
