Hill Simulations
Did a simulated hill work out on the trainer today. Ride was a short 45 minutes, but it was coming off two prior days of hard efforts. Started out well with a warm-up and got the juices flowing with some seated 30 second accelerations around 270+ watts. Moved into 3 efforts of simulated hill climbs at 5 minutes each. Started in the 53x15 and shifted down every 90 seconds, with the last 30 seconds of the 5 minute effort being the hardest. The goal was to keep the RPMs over 70. Legs felt good all around and extended the third effort to 6 minutes with the last minute standing trying to keep the cadence over 70. I posted my power profile for anyone who is interested... You can see the hill efforts, as they are distinct. You can also see how my cadence starts to slow as the hill effort gets harder. I love training with power!
Power is in Pink, Speed in Blue, Cadence in Green, and Torque in Black
