I’m about 2/3 of the way through this book. So far, I haven’t found a lot of ‘you should do this in your training’ moments as the author is shown the various sides of he argument of the mental vs physical training needed to be great. How critical is one to the other and how

Last ride in NYC at the Manhattan Athletic Club. Used the same procedure as yesterday with 10 minute segments at 220-240-260-280-300 with HR topping out at 80-83% of max. Nothing too crazy but enough to keep the legs and cardio in the game for a few days. 

Todays indoor ride at the Manhattan Athletic Club ming from 200-220-240-260-280 watts, 10 minutes each, followed by 20-30 minutes of lifting and then a 2+ hour walk around Central Park 

Just an endurance ride but threw in a couple of all out short efforts and set a new PR for 5 seconds at 1050. Nothing t get too excited about but fun to do. All went after a couple of 1 minute efforts knowing I needed to hit 615+ and after 30 seconds was in

The target power was 326 but I wanted to hold higher than that. In the end avg ws 332, 336, 344 and 353 with NP for the entire ride at 265. Will be doing more miles this afternoon as I watch my Xavier Musketeers play DePaul.  Other two files are blue with another 43 miles

This is the same workout as yesterday (5 min at 326/SS, 1 at PI/360, 5 at SS and 1 at PI), three sets. I only took 5 minutes between as I was pressed for time. Five minute efforts were at 330 or so and 1’s at 370-380+. 

I did some recon today with a regional group of coordinators to scout some roads for the state senior time trials and road races. More information to follow but should be held on the weekend of June 23/24.
