Week 12 |
|
|
Monday |
Day off : Rest days are when you recover from your training and get stronger. Try to eat and drink well today without overdoing it. |
|
Tuesday |
Outdoor/indoor: 1h00; Spin Out Focus: We're talking about “active” rest: the legs rotate but we don't add too much fatigue. Complete rest would lead to stiffness and heavy legs for the big day. Warm-up #2:
Repeat the sequence 4 times. At the end of the 4th sequence, replace the 4 minute recovery with a full 10 minute recovery. Keep your upper body as stable as possible, movements should be limited. |

Wednesday |
Day off Your second day off of the week. Discover some techniques you can use to optimize your recovery. |

THURSDAY |
Outdoor/indoor: 1h00; Spin Out Focus: We're talking about “active” rest: the legs rotate but we don't add too much fatigue. Complete rest would lead to stiffness and heavy legs for the big day. Warm-up #2:
Repeat the sequence 4 times. At the end of the 4th sequence, replace the 4 minute recovery with a full 10 minute recovery. Keep your upper body as stable as possible, movements should be limited. |

Friday |
Day off Take advantage of this extra day of rest to refine the last technical details for Sunday's cycle: equipment, bike, routes, kits as well as the various arrangements for D-Day which will help you avoid last minute panic. |
|
SATURDAY |
Outdoor/indoor: 30 minutes Focus: It may seem counterintuitive to ride the day before your ride, but, especially if you've had to travel, it can help relax your legs and prevent them from feeling heavy and numb tomorrow. Warm-up #1: Ride at maximum cadence for 10 seconds then switch to recovery mode for 50 seconds. Repeat the exercise 5 times. Finish with 10 minutes of recovery |
|
Sunday |
100 km cyclo-sport / +/- 5:00 a.m.: D-Day!! Focus: Have a good day! You've trained really well and you deserve to have fun on your bike and with a crowd of riders who share the same passion as you. Warm-up #1: Don't go too quickly, stick to the pace you know. Try to find a group with a similar ability to you. Don't try to stay with a group that's going too hard for you. You may cycle with friends or members of your cycling club. It's awesome ! But don't be pushed to ride at a pace that's too fast or too slow for you. Eat and drink in small quantities but regularly from the start of the race. |
