3 Little Pigs

The 3 little pigs is a children’s story about how 3 little pigs work together to be better than the big bad wolf. Independently the big bad wolf has it over them.
In the same way that the 3 little pigs work together, your cycle sessions each week need to work together to develop your overall fitness, so that the big bad wolf doesn’t huff and puff.

Friday Fartlek: 8 Weeks to a Faster 10k: 20-24x 200m

Over the next 8 weeks, I will post a workout that when done in sequence will help you run a faster 10km. The key to success is to set a realistic 10km time that is challenging. Over the coming 8 weeks, we will look at a hypothetic goal time for a typical person trying to run 10km under 50min, 45min, 40min, or 35min. These sessions are best done on an athletic track.

Spring Challenge

“When Ray asked me to write an article on my Spring Challenge experience I thought heck I could easily write a novel. But he required only 200 words. It was three weeks from the Spring Challenge kick-off. I get the important text “Ness would you want to be in my team the Stoken Hopefulls for Spring Challenge?” I didn’t need to be asked, I was in. I did feel a slight pang of guilt when I signed up. I felt like I was dropping my uncommitted teammates Marg and Rach for this other team. I had no idea of my “new” teammates’ strengths and weaknesses. I felt confident I had a good base level of fitness.
