Moving from `Foundation' to `Preparation' phase

From aerobic and long hours to anaerobic intervals, aerobic maintenance and long hours. Today I loped for 1 hour at about a 110 HR, don't really know the watts. Last hour I did intervals like this: 5 mins at 180 watts with 10 min rest. Did 3 or 4 of these and then switched to: 1 min at 200 watts and 2 minute rest. Probably did 6 or 7 of these.

Intervals: I found this short article interesting and useful. Offers rationale for intervals as a training tool and a way to spice up an indoor training program.

Tomorrow I'm going to do a 2 hour lope at under 120bpm and then stop and do two Carmichael Field Tests to get a Baseline reading of my power. I'm curious.
