A good thing about the long Labor Day weekend, is just that, a long weekend where we can do those extra things that we wanted to do. It is the official end of summer. And what a good summer it was. I have put in some serious long rides and have really built an excellent endurance base. Now with fall knocking on the door I can change my riding workouts a bit. With less sun and cooler weather ahead, I can start to focus on some good interval training.
When one has a good base of miles under their belt (or on my rear end)they can start doing some harder speed work and have the stamina to build on that kind of workout. I can start doing more speed bursts during my workouts which in turn will allow me to get accustomed to riding at a faster pace over a longer period of time. I will also be doing some more of my personal TT's. Even though there will be less daylight, the workouts will be better quality. By the time spring and early summer comes back around, it's going to be fun to see the results of adding interval work on top of the solid endurance base that I built over the summer.
This fall is going to be fun and fast!
