Hill repeats were much better this time out.
The past couple of weeks I have been working on my climbing. I’ve been doing some repeats and just focusing on trying to keep my power somewhat consistant on them. Last night I went out and did the same hill repeats that I did twelve days ago. The climb is a little over a mile long and a little over 600 feet elevation gain. I had approximately 2:15 recovery between each repeat for the ride back down to the bottom.
3/6/08 wattages on the repeats. 314, 305, 295, 294, 287
3/18/08 wattages on the repeats. 322, 313, 312, 312, 320
I had about a ten percent gain on the final climb. I feel pretty good about the improvement, especially considering how early it is in the season.
Its cool to see that you are back at it. it has been some time since I last checked here.Atleast you have real hills to climb. I am just now getting back at it myself after rupturing a disc in my spine last October in a cross race.
Its the love of pain that feeds us to do this.
