Tour de France Fitness Challenge Week One Done – Quick Recap
The picture above is from today’s ride data posted at Strava.com, to give you a sample. This week has been 230+ miles and over 15 hours in the saddle. My challenge is a little more difficult than I thought but I feel a bit better each day.
On to week two.
Since I have to fit in clients and classes these are becoming decent volume training weeks. It is averaging around 2 hours, pushing pretty hard (with stop lights and signs) to complete each 50k. In order to complete each day’s 50k ride, I sometimes have to break up rides into twice or more a day. I am going to see if I can wake up early enough to do that tomorrow and slip the Sole Runners’ Saturday run in between.
Next week I get to ride in the Sierras which probably means I’ll be climbing, just like the pros.
