Starting to up the intensity of training rides now – the racing season is fast approaching. Yesterday I was scheduled for lactic tolerance intervals. I always find the first one tough, after the first 2 minutes time starts standing still and you have to fight part of your brain that want to take it easy. After that I seemed to get into them and find some sort of weird enjoyment in the pain, it actually feels good to ride hard.
I was lucky not to be out on a long spin though, I just made it home in time to avoid another big load of snow. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t forcast but it went on all day – hopefully it will be melted by the weekend! Although I’m going to have to get used to it, Liechtenstein won’t be much different! hmmmm.
