Killer Workout

Speaking of phone books, total height 175mm. Height of rear wheel off ground. ~ ~35mm. Wheelbase 1025mm.

So total elevation of front vs back wheel is 175-35 mm = 140mm over a wheelbase of 1025mm. Arcsin(140/1025) =~ 8 degrees gradient


I was thinking I should wear the aero helmet when doing my VO2 Max work though.

And change to mid foot cleat position.

Well on the left leg it'll end up being an ankle cleat position anyway !

Therefore, since Swampy gave me the idea of using electric current and since I am seeing the electronic stim devices available in the magazines I am going to just buy one and improve my muscularity and endurance levels through electronic stimulation while sitting on the couch or fishing at my favorite lake.

Monday through Friday Electronic Stimulation intervals in zone 4 (HOEP - Hour of Electric Power)
Saturday and Sunday will be rest days

Of course someone will have to analyze and come up with these new zones, but I imagine zone 4 will be just slightly under interrogation levels used by governing authorties if the device is capable of such output.

On the indoor trainer
with the heater on to acclimatise to summer racing
and front wheel raised to simulate climbing (using Sydney's white and yellow pages of course)
and Active Spokes on the rear wheel
at low cadence, strength-endurance style (so my capilliaries don't explode)
riding intervals at anaerobic threshold heart rate for 10-min (as determined by a Conconi test)
using power cranks
with elliptical chainrings
while breathing thru a powerbreathe device
in a high altitude tent
and for rest intervals I jump off and do a weight set.

Afterwards a cold bath so lactic acid is flushed away.

but was wondering if anyone could help me add some other killer elements....
