Workout:
Outdoor day
2 hours mountain biking
This was a great great ride. We rode a trail I haven't ridden since last summer. Ends with a 20-30 minute climb out of a canyon. Last year I remember not making a lot of the last switch backs just because my legs were not able to provide any burst of power by that point. Yesterday, I rode the entire thing without coming off the bike and my legs felt like they had more in the tank. Truly amazing. Even just a few weeks of training and I can tell improvement. I think some of it is learning a better foot position on my pedal too. I noticed in my time on the trainer, without having to think about much else, that I was pedaling with my heel down, like I was taught to do horseback riding as a kid. I've been playing around with a more neutral and even toe down position and noticing how it incorporates more of my quads. Whatever it is, I noticed huge improvement yesterday. Also, meant to tell you how I feel like I am recovering faster. Last week during the workout with three 12 minute amraps, I was shot at the end of the last one, but then looked at the clock about 90 seconds after and was feeling way better and ready to go. Thanks!
