Today’s workout was going to test my mental toughness. 3×1′ fast pedals, followed by 3×6 max climbing repeat intervals, and finally 3×2 power intervals. The hard part of this workout was the recovery time between the intervals; 30″ for the fast pedals, 1′ for the climbing repeats, and 1′ for the power intervals. I did this same workout a couple weeks ago, but the recovery times were 4x what they are this time. I started out a bit timid, pushing the very lower limits of the wattage ranges. After I finished the second climbing repeat interval, my legs were still feeling good and my mental attitude was along the lines of “hey this isn’t so bad”. So, I hammered the third climbing repeat. Focused on staying relaxed, holding good smooth pedaling form, and not watching the PowerTap. The rest of the workout was a breeze!
