90 minutes mostly even paced ride. Do some 60 second accelarations (like the running strides) every 8 minutes, settle back into RPE 3 otherwise

This week's focus is the run. Be careful to stretch well after all sessions and warm up and down competely--we don't want any injuries to creep up. Also the 2 intense workouts this week: the run session on Tuesday and the bike session on Friday.
