Did this effort today as I had plenty of time. Here is the lowdown: 30 seconds high cadence at 115, 316 30 seconds high cadence at 114, 387 2 minutes at tempo at 329, 89 30 seconds high cadence at 109 rpm, 405 30 seconds high cadence at 121, 405 watts 4 minutes time trial

The first half of the ride was in Tennessee riding around Cades Cove twice and the second half at home on the trainer. I did about 14 of the 12 second efforts. Power averages were.. 572, 671, 677, 694, 746, 731, 613, 675, 675, 638, 658, 663, 789 and 655. Tried to use some of

I did a late day one hour ride at recovery pace (right around 160 watts….with the climbs its tough to keep it much lower) but did a nice 4.5 hour hike in the morning to Ramsey Cascade. Its one of my favorite hikes in the park.

By Gabe Mirkin, M.D. A new study from France shows that night-time fasting after intense workouts on alternate days helps athletes exercise longer and faster (Med Sci Sports Exerc, April 2016;48(4):663-72). This is an impeccable study in which 21 trained competitive endurance athletes were randomly divided into two groups and all followed the same training program. They

I did the 53 mile round trip to Clingmans Dome with a couple of 20 minute tempo efforts on the way up at around 290. Kind of cool at the top (45) but back up to 65 at the chalet. The ride up has about 5000′ of elevation gain. I wish I had kept track over

Other than it being too cold (48-52), I feel good about this effort. Average power for the entire 10 miles was 362, cadence at 87, max watts 815, 4.7 watts/kg avg. The first half was 354/89 and the second half was 369/87. I really think that once things warm up that I’ll be holding some

I rode an easy 30 minutes when I got up and then did these at lunch between meetings. I ramped up the rpm’s and shifted up through the power range until I was above 600 and then hit the INT. Power was 664, 656, 613, 675, 648, 632, 640, 651, 624, 621. I took about

from todays USAC RaceClean email Last month, you cited anonymous survey data as one of the reasons you believe doping is a problem in amateur cycling – could you provide more information?  First off, survey data is just one portion of the evidence that led us to believe doping is a problem in amateur cycling. 

Started the day with my 8am spin followed by the 9am circuit and then hit the road bike for 4×10 steady states over an hour ride. Not my best power on those (310 +/-) but I was pretty cooked by then. Those plyometric exercises i the circuit class really take that spark out your legs.

Looking at my schedule tomorrow I decided to do these today. I used the crit course. The 6 high cadence were 122, 120, 124, 122, 122, 123, on the flat to downhill section. The 6 power intervals were 511, 539, 540, 508, 508 and 511. Super winded after each of those, but felt good to
