Right now ought to have been my Tuesday group trip however rain was forecast so we didn’t do one. I rode anyway and bought all equipped for the rain nevertheless it turned out to not arrive until after my trip was over. I managed to sneak in a brisk 35 mile trip in fairly good climate.
Right now was “onerous” day on the bike so after using at a fast however manageable “zone 2” tempo for a bit over 90 minutes I threw in some quicker lengthy intervals to enhance lactate threshold after which some quick sprints with lengthy restoration in between, then completed with a neater cooldown. That is what I’ve been doing for onerous day just lately, and it feels difficult however nice. Within the phrases of the good operating coach Invoice Bowerman, a superb exercise ought to go away you feeling “exhilarated not exhausted” and this one does.
I did all this on my Corsa recumbent within the configuration with 20″ wheels back and front. I’ve been actually having fun with this, it makes for a compact however quick little bike. It reminds of the primary comfy recumbent I ever had, the Rans Rocket, which is a traditional that’s sadly by no means made. The Corsa is comparable however lighter and quicker.
