THE LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIP WITH INTERVALS
INTERVALS, intervals, intervals. We know the drill, literally. Most of us have at least tried them once, some of us are so disciplined and driven...
... we love them.
I'm not that guy.
And, if I'm being honest, and I always am with you, I think I might actually need to get back to doing some.
Probably not the rigid kind...
- 30/30s
- 4x4s
- 10x2s
... that suck all the life out of riding my bike.
I'm going to bring back going hard on all the little 5 second to 5 minute climbs on my local MTB trails, once a week...
... that should keep it fun and fresh.
Why, you ask?
Why bring back a form of training you loath and could potentially kill the joy?
Well, still being honest here, my 2-5 minute power is quite pathetic.
What used to be always be a sub-5 minute climb on the Tuesday morning group ride, never is.
I suck.
I wheeze.
I finish alone.
Maybe I'll never get it back, but...
... damn I love a good challenge.
