Today it was intervals in Ft Ord. One minute full on efforts up a rising road. I use landmarks to judge my distance covered for the minute long effort. I dig as deep as possible into my effort, leaving nothing left over when finished with each interval.
Then I follow that hard effort with 2 minutes of very high cadence climbing for cool down. I keep the cadence at 105 rotations per minute, and stay seated in the saddle just spinning the legs super fast. Then I rest for 5 minutes and complete the cycle over again.
I love me some intervals!
