12hr PR Questions

[jim leikert]

Hi Lynda,

I'm in week 9 of the 12 Hour PR plan and tomorrow (Tuesday) looks like this:

/* begin desc */

Planned Duration: 1:00

Workout Description:
Warm-up well and then do 15 x 30 seconds at Power L6 or
90% effort with 30-second spin recoveries at Power L1 or
very easy effort. Stop if power drops below L6. Rolling
starts, seated, big gear. Cool down easily and stretch.

/* end desc */

So my first question is about the stopping part.

[Lynda]

(1) When you can't hit the power for the entire 30 second duration you stop the workout and spin home. Do not shorten the interval length.

(2) To race and do a long ride in the same day do a long easy warm up, race, then take a break to have a recovery drink and possibly a light meal. Once refueled continue on to finish the ride time.

If your schedule allows,

Thanks Lynda.

To 12 today.
