This weeks focus is the bike with both intense sessions spent in the saddle. Run and swim sessions are at a minimum. Race Prep: How you will carry fuel during the race? How much? Can you depend on race-provided calories and drink? How will you refill on the race course? Put these answers you find during these long rides into your training journal--not in today's entry but in the calendar days during race week where you'll find it.

Bike
  • 1h 30m

90 minutes at RPE 4 on trainer or road. Try to maintain aero posture during middle 40 minutes. Take your tools along and stop for adjustments as necessary to keep comfortable position without sacrificing power. You'll find that this position will vary as your flexibility and strength changes. Keep notes in your log of adjustments fur reference.

We'll do this again at the end of the week to test positioning.
