FRANTIC TRAINING SECRET

FRANTIC TRAINING SECRET

SOMETHING HAPPENED THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, that hasn't happened for quite a while.  It's weird, but I also think it's legit form of high-performance training...

... don't hold your breath.

I'm not going to tell you.
I'm going to guide you.

Here's how it went down for me,
and I bet you can relate.

Being sidelined for the first 2 months of this year,
I chose to slowly build my fitness back.

Short slow rides,
turned to longish slow rides.

I felt ready to join the group rides.
I was quickly distanced.

Eventually, I could hang on.

The last 4 weeks,
I turned the corner.

My fitness was such that I could push deep enough...

... to breathe frantically.

The kind of breathing we do after sprinting all out for 100 yards, on foot.

Am I saying forget the...

  • HR monitor
  • Power meter
  • Structured intervals

... maybe, sort of, kinda.

When we are breathing frantically at least once a week...

... we know we're actually hitting our highest efforts.
