4×8 Steady States

Yesterdays ride was just 90 minutes and included 4×8 minute steady states. After the prior week it was nice to have some shorter intervals than the previous 15 minute efforts. The weather was great with temps in the 50’s. I used Riverside Drive between Delta and downtown Cincinnati for these. The power averages were 329, 328, 329 and 329 with cadence at 87-90 average on each. Hr was right in the threshold zone or below. Watts per Kg was around 4.3. Have a couple of more days of these this week and then will likely get a long ride in on Friday, maybe a century if the weather is as nice as predicted. Also starting to ramp up the weight training for the winter. I may do these the day of the intervals or on an endurance day. I try to keep the off days as light as possible with just an easy low wattage spin.
