After missing out on a ride onTuesday due to the football/band practice combination (trying to play football with a trumpet in my hand gets more difficult every week...) I was really keen to get on the bike last night.
I was also really keen to watch the Champions league final so I disappeared into the cellar for a 35 minute blast on the turbo trainer in an attempt to replicate a lap at the 12 hour race I'm going to do. I warmed up for 5 minutes then went pretty much as hard as I could for 25 minutes on a 3 minute top gear, easy setting on the trainer /2 minute 3-gears down, hardest setting on the trainer. I also tried to do a little sprint after each hard section as if I was getting going again after getting to the summit of a climb.
After 25 minutes of hell I warmed down for 5 minutes.
It was a very hard session where I actually almost felt scared of the time ticking away on the easier bit because I couldn't stand the 2 minutes of the hard setting.
At some stage soon I'll try to do the same thing, have a break for an hour then do it again to see how it'll feel in the race.
