I did 10 minutes of 30mph+ intervals of 30 seconds high gear high cadence, 30 seconds low gear low cadence. Following that I did a few big hills and attacked each one, and on the fast road home I pushed it again. After a less than 30 mile ride I felt like I had ridden more than 50 miles. I must be doing something right then surely?

Getting In Focus
I'm confident I've got a good base of fitness and strength now to make the training more focused, so to celebrate this I went out today and did a load of intervals which I can say confidently that no cyclist actually enjoys doing. Why do we do it then you ask? Because it builds top end speed and power and also makes your body recover faster from bursts of power in a race situation.

I like intervals! Nothing like pushing yourself to the max!
