Brisk Native Journey – BionicOldGuy

In the present day ought to have been my Tuesday group trip however rain was forecast so we didn’t do one. I rode anyway and received all equipped for the rain however it turned out to not arrive until after my trip was over. I managed to sneak in a brisk 35 mile trip in fairly good climate.

In the present day was “laborious” day on the bike so after driving 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 laborious day not too long ago, and it feels difficult however nice. Within the phrases of the nice working coach Invoice Bowerman, a superb 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 comparable however lighter and quicker.
