Training for the European Triathlon Championships: spinning classes this week





Background

I am thinking about participating in 2014 ETU Triathlon European Standard Distance Championships (Kitzbühel, Austria June 19 2014 - June 22 2014) by competing in Anglian Water Standard Distance Triathlon - 22 September 2013.

Update No 004 4 August 2013

Below is my play-list for the spinning classes this week. These are 5:30pm and 6:30pm on Monday at FitnessFirst and 5:45pm on Wednesday at BodyRox (both offer pay-as-you-go options).

The logic behind the sets is as follows…

Warm-up
Set 1
Climb - over-gear to work on strength
Climb - over-gear to work on strength  <- this is fast/hard, so I have to work hard!
Cruise - recovery for those that need it (this is to offer people a ‘choice’ and some variety)**
Fast - pure speed/endurance <- This is the key effort for me
Cruise - recovery for those that need it

Set 2
Climb - over-gear to work on strength
Climb - over-gear to work on strength <- this is fast/hard, so I have to work hard!
Cruise - recovery for those that need it (this is to offer people a ‘choice’ and some variety)**
Fast - pure speed/endurance <- This is the key effort for me
Cruise - recovery for those that need it
Cool-Down

** Note: Not everyone coming to the class is expecting to work this hard, or aiming to peak for a race in 7+weeks!
