This is designed to be done at a track; if you need to run out on the road instead, just substitute the times indicated to guide you through the session.

DAILY TOTAL: 1:25 WEEK-TO-DATE: 8:25 Saturday BIKE 2:20 A weekend like this at the end of a hard week of work makes this physical challenge significant, and should definitely help build your confidence towards your racing efforts. Be sure to include some long intervals in the 75 & 85% range. Indoor alternative: 20:00 warm up spin, gradually bringing your HR up to 70% by the end MAIN SET 35:00 (or 11.2 miles) @75% w/5:00 recovery @60% 2 x 17:30 (or 5.6 miles) @85% in a harder gear, w/2:30 recovery @60% 20:00 gradual cool down spin, bringing your HR back under 60% by the end RUN 0:40 Try to do this right after biking. The main goal should be to finish this run strong after pacing it evenly. Keep your upper body relaxed as well as your breathing. DAILY TOTAL: 3:00 WEEK-TO-DATE: 11:25 Sunday RUN 1:00 This run can be held at a sub-aerobic pace, meaning below 70%. Get into it slowly and early in the day, when you will no doubt feel the effects of yesterdays efforts. However, as this run progresses you want to begin to feel better -- you definitely dont want to feel thrashed at the end of this one. You ultimately want to be able to finish the second run strong. BIKE 0:45 Spin at 90-100 rpms, and let your HR creep up to 75% if you are feeling strong. The purpose of this ride is more for extending the workout than for acting as a separate workout. So, keep in mind that the most important and challenging part of the day is still ahead. RUN 0:35 Hold a steady pace and cadence during this run. The last half-hour you can let your HR creep above 75%, but DO NOT allow it to go above 80-85%.
