MAIN SET -- BIG TARGET!

This is a significant set that should be done indoors, if possible, for the sake of consistency. You'll be putting in a substantial distance at different intensities, giving you a chance to gauge your progress to this point in the season.

#1 & 2@75%, #3 @84%

-- straight into:

3 x (3.1 miles / 5km / 9:00) w/2:00 recovery @60-70% in between

#1 @75%, #2 & 3 @84%

COOL DOWN

Continue spinning, bringing your HR back under 60% before finishing.

Hold your cadence at 90+ rpm throughout.

RUN 0:40

This is a steady aerobic effort to finish off your day -- do a quick transition after your ride and get on the run right away. Keep your HR under 75% throughout, and finish with 2-3:00 of walking to bring the intensity under 50% before stopping.
