Volume Reduction

Yes, reducing the training volume is significantly assisting with recovery and motivation.

Coach Norman's interval training last night focused on RPM work:

warmup

2 min 110rpm (small chain ring), 2min ri X 3

20 sec 95-100rpm, 40 sec ri X 10

15 sec all out spin (i held 132-137), 15 sec ri X 10

40 pedal strokes big gear on the 2 min X 3

cooldown

Yes, those FT mucsle fibers got called up!

Shortened but brisk ride with Cactus his morning - 18 mi. Legs felt peppy and it was great to keep the distance short.

Plan for Rocky Point Tri - keep the volume down, intensity up. Short taper.
