I had been debating about whether to go out for a MTB ride with some of my fellow XXX teammates on New Year’s Day.  My training plan ultimately won the debate, which was probably a good thing considering the trail conditions at Waterfall Glen. So, what was on my training plan to keep me from riding outside?  Intervals of course!

Time for another trip to the training dungeon.  Here’s a little video tour showing my Computrainer setup and a demo of some of the 5X6 minute threshold intervals I did using Ergvideo. Our 100+ year old basement is a little cold, dreary, but once you get pedaling to some great tunes (save your AC/DC comments for later), things really heat up.  Not quite Florida, but it beats being out on the ice with below zero windchills!

Yep, what a way to spend New Year’s…:)
