New spin workout

Thanks Sudie!

Over/Unders

Based loosely on a Chris Carmichael workout that I have used before.
Warm up 5-10 mins.
Main set:
2mins. hill(under LT) 
2mins. flat(LT)
3mins hill(under LT)
3 mins flat( LT)
2-3 mins recover

repeat 4times

cool down/stretch

You can start first interval sub/at LT and then try and progress intervals so you finish at LT on hills and just over LT on flats.   
Try and keep the transitions smooth from hill to flat as you take off resistance but add cadence to increase intensity.

Have fun!!

This profile has three levels.  Each one gets longer as you progres.  The flats can be done at 85-95rpms(Zone 2) the hills increase resistance each level and work up to top of Zone 3.   In the sprints I let the class go up to and maybe just over LT.  Just see how what kind of energy and feedback you get from the class.  I used the hills as a Strength Zone workout and the flats as Endurance Zone.

“No matter what accomplishments you make, somebody helps you.” Wilma Rudolph

Cycle workout 3/10: Don't back down

Shout out to Sudie for tonight's class!

Warm up:
5 min. easy
4 min. 30 sec. easy x 30 sec. climb, level 5-6
3 min. 30 sec. push x 30 sex. push, level 6, flat road

Main Set;
2:30 min. push, flat road, level 6
3 min. climb, 20 sec. climb x 5 sec. hard push
3 min. push, flat road, level 6
3 min. climb, 30 sec. climb x 10 sec. hard push
4 min. push, flat road, level 6
3 min. climb, 40 sec. climb x 20 sec. hard push
10 min; flat road, push 2 min. level 7 x 1 min. easy
3 min. climb; 20 sec. climb x 5 sec. hard push
4 min. flat road, breaks/sprints

Cool down:
5-10 min. easy

P.S. For each climbing interval, climb the entire time (i.e. no breaks between intervals). Once you are done with the climbs, immediately go into your pushes on the flat. For the level 6 pushes, this is below race pace, but it is still a good strong push. Focus on keeping your heart rate in that aerobic level 6 the entire time. This is a good one for really building your cardiovascular strength!

cycling image of the day: Chrissie Wellington gutting it out in the marathon


"you will make what you have work. you have to. so it is just you and your journey. a strange and wonderful freedom ..."

I picked this up from Chrissie's website. I thought this was a great quote. It really epitomized the reason why I do triathlon. Sorry for the lack of posts this weekend. I was in Albany, GA doing a race. No worries, the workouts will be back this week!

cycle workout 3/3: Mardi Gras spin

Warm up:
5 min. easy
3 min: 30 sec. easy x 15 sec. push level 6, flat
3 min: 30 sec. easy x 30 sec. climb, level 6

Main Set:
Tonight we did something different. After the warm up, we alternated flat song then hill song.
For all flat songs, I pulled a card from a deck of cards. If I pulled out a 2 (any suit) then it became a 20 sec. sprint, 3 = 30 sec. sprint, etc. Jack = 100 sec. sprint, Queen = 110 sec. sprint, King = 120 sec. sprint, Ace = 20 sec. recovery. I used half time for recovery for each sprint. I did this for all flat songs. All intervals were done at level 7-8 (very hard pushes)
For all climbs, I had them in and out of the saddle and just climbing (active recovery).

Cool Down:
5-10 min. easy

Weight Workout 6: general workout

Warm up:
5-10 minutes easy

Legs:
2 x 10 side lungs each leg. Hold mod. weight (dumbbells) in both hands

2 x 15 one leg squats (15 each leg)
3 x 12 leg press, heavy weight
2 x 10 lunges (each each leg)
Immediately after lungs do half way lunges 2 x 10 each leg

Arms:
2 x 15 Tricep kick backs
2 x 15 triep extensions
2 x 15 curls (use a bar, not dumbbells)
2 x 15 reverse curls (use same weight from regular curls)
3 x 12 cable cross over (go heavy)
3 x 12 chest press machine or incline chest press (go heavy)
3 x 10 unilateral bent over row (use a bench and do 10 each arm)

Finish with push up ladder... i.e. start at 15... rest... then do 14... rest.... then do 13, etc. all the way down to one

Cool Down:
5-10 min. easy

Running workout 3/1: running in the new month

Another good one by Coach Thomas... enjoy!


One mile warm-up, stretch, strides, then 6 x 1000m followed by 2 x 400m. The 1000m should be done at 10k race pace (so not as fast as the 800s we did this past week) and the two 400s at the end should be done at a faster-than-5k-race pace, aka they should be fast. We will have a 600m recovery between each 1000 (since you end at the other side of the track) and a one lap recovery between the 400s. One mile cool down, stretch, and optional run drills afterward.

2/24 Cycle workout: Slams!

This is what my class did tonight. This was a tough workout, especially since we have not done a lot of out of the saddle type workouts. Read P.S. below for more details. Special shout out to fellow SPIN instructor Joseph for the 'Slams' idea. Thanks Joseph!

Warm up:
5 min. easy spin

Main Set:
30 sec. baseline pace x 30 sec. push in the saddle, level 6 x 30 sec. push out of saddle, level 6; all flat road
1 min. baseline x 1 min. push in saddle, level 6 x 1 min. push out of saddle, level 6; all flat
2 min. baseline x 2 min. push in saddle, level 6-7 x 2 min. push out of saddle, level 6-7; all flat
3 min. baseline x 3 min. push in saddle, level 7 x 3 min. push out of saddle, level 7; all flat

-2 min. easy
-5 min. climb, increase tension every one minute, level 6
-1 min. easy
2 min. climb, 30 sec flat x 30 sec. pick up out of saddle on hill

3 min. baseline pace x 3 min. out of saddle push, level 7 x 3 min. push in saddle, level 7; all on flat road
2 min. baseline pace x 2 min. push out of saddle, level 7 x 2 min. push in saddle, level 7; all on flat road
1 min. baseline pace x 1 min. push out of saddle, level 7 x 2 min. push in saddle, level 7; all on flat road
30 sec. baseline x 30 sec. push out of saddle, level 7 x 30 sec. push in saddle, level 7; all on flat road

Cool down and stretch

Total time: 60 min.

P.S.
So there is a lot going on in this workout. The idea is to make your legs really hurt/build up that lactic acid while still maintaining good racing form/pace. Start the workout just below race pace effort. Once you are onto your first 3 min. set then you should defiantly be at race pace effort. Do not worry about rpm or turning a big gear for this one. Just have enough resistance to stay in control (for both in and out of the saddle pushes). Note, you will probably have to add a little tension to the bike once out of the saddle.
When we are biking rarely are we out of the saddle for more than 30 seconds at any one time. Any one who cycles out on the road can attest to this. The point of this workout is to really work your legs to the point of fatigue while still trying maintain your goal race pace. This is good for triathletes and cyclist alike.

Run workout 2/22: 800s

one mile warm up, followed by 8 x 800m repeats, then a mile cool down, with a one lap jog rest in between each one. Simple as that. Oh and pacing wise you should be looking to hit a little faster than your 5k pace, so these should be fairly quick but make sure you can do all 8!




Thanks Thomas

You have to see this track race accident photo!


This happened today after a crash on the track!

Running Workout: Running Drills

Like any sport, doing certain drills and exaggerated movements can help to improve your fitness and form. Are are a few for runners....

1. High Knee- kick the knees high up towards the chest while running forward
2. Skipping- sounds crazy but doing an exaggerated skip can help.
3. Rabbit hops- with both feet together load your knees with your body weight by performing a squate then push off the ground and 'hop' forward (do this as a continuous drill).
4. Strides- as the name suggests, just open up your stride and run down the street.
5. Stride on incline- same as above except you do it going up a hill. This will help to develop power behind your legs.
6. Heel Slides- i.e. kick your own butt with your heels as you run down the track, road, etc.
7. Stadium steps- run up some stairs if they are available to you after a run. This forces your body to get your knees high and your leg speed up.

Try doing some of these a couple times a week after a run. If it work awesome... if doesn't then do not do them!

weight workout: Runners Session

Runners need a a full complement of both upper and lower body exercises to help them (not just core)... here is a potential workout you could do to help improve your running. Note, I do not prescribe recommended weigh loads as each load is dependent on the person.

Warm up:
5-10 minutes

Legs:
Single leg squats (with or without weights)
3 x 10 regular squat (moderate weight)
2 sets of 20 walking lunges using moderate weight
Step ups on a box (no weight or use light weight)
2 sets of walking lunges using medicine ball with a russian twist
Finish with box jumps or run up some stairs

Arms:
2 x 10 Chest press
2 x 10 incline chest press
2 x 15 overhead press using dumbbells
2 x 15 lateral raises
3 x 10 standing reverse fly
bicep curls at the end (as many as you can do in 2 sets using heavy weight)

Finish with some abs, pushups, or pull ups (just do one of these, your choice)

Cool down and stretch.

Weight Workout: Go Big!?

Got this one from an article I read, which I will try to post shortly.
GO BIG
To harness your muscles' latent power, slip this maximum-effort gym session into your strength routine once every three to four months.
(1) 10–20 minutes easy aerobic warm-up
(2) Pick an appropriate lift for your sport, like the dead lift, bench press, or back squat. Estimate the maximum weight you think you can lift once with proper form, then do:
(a) 10 reps at 35 percentof your estimated max (EM)
(b) 5 reps at 55–60 percent of your EM
(c) 2 reps at 70–75 percent of your EM
(d) 1 rep at 85 percent EM
(e) 1 rep at 95 percent EM
(3) Do one rep of your max. If you get it and think you can go higher, try a small increase. If you can't get it, reduce weight slightly until you can complete the move. Always end on a successful lift—and always use a spotter.


Compliments of Nick Heil from Outside magazine. I will upload the article later.
