At this time ought to have been my Tuesday group experience however rain was forecast so we didn’t do one. I rode anyway and acquired all equipped for the rain but it surely turned out to not arrive until after my experience was over. I managed to sneak in a brisk 35 mile experience in fairly good climate.

At this time was “exhausting” day on the bike so after using at a fast however manageable “zone 2” tempo for a bit over 90 minutes I threw in some quicker lengthy intervals to enhance lactate threshold after which some quick sprints with lengthy restoration in between, then completed with a better cooldown. That is what I’ve been doing for exhausting day lately, and it feels difficult however nice. Within the phrases of the good working coach Invoice Bowerman, a great exercise ought to depart you feeling “exhilarated not exhausted” and this one does.

I did all this on my Corsa recumbent within the configuration with 20″ wheels back and front. I’ve been actually having fun with this, it makes for a compact however quick little bike. It reminds of the primary comfy recumbent I ever had, the Rans Rocket, which is a traditional that’s sadly by no means made. The Corsa is analogous however lighter and quicker.
