Last night in cycling class, my group did some spin up drills. I had never heard of this before and it's a very hard thing to try to describe. But basically we rode in a very easy gear at the highest cadence we could without bouncing in the seat.
It's a lot harder than it sounds and it makes you feel a little silly. But after doing a couple of these drills, we did a drill where we rode in a harder gear and tried to go fast but keep up the cadence. Guess what...I was FAST!!! And it was easier to hold the higher cadence!! Brilliant!
Then at the end of the class, we did a sprint. I've never sprinted before. It was SOOOO much fun!
Have I mentioned how much I love my cycling class?
Read along with my blog as I discuss weight, schedule and life challenges as I try to get my triathlon training back on track. I will also discuss what I've learned along the way and what new goals I'm setting for myself.
