POLARIZED CHAIN SMOKING
TONIGHT WAS FUN. I hit a bunch of hills on my way to the group ride. It's kinda sneaky, and maybe I shouldn't do it, but when you're frothy like that and everybody else is cold...
... it's just too darn easy to pin right away.
Besides, it's a training ride and I'm training for some MTB racing and those always go hard from the start.
I rode the first 5ish miles off the front.
Strava estimated 300+ watts.
HR was nipping at anaerobic.
It was about a 10 minute effort,
the final for the day,
I felt great.
The point is this. If you're going to do polarized training...
... the hard days have got to be chain smokers.
Not kinda hard,
Not up there...
... all out
is all that counts.
I love these custom socks we made for the Chain Smoker MTB Race in Vegas next month.
