Bike
Planned Time: 1:15:00Workout Description:

Outdoors if weather permits. Ride in Zones 1-2 on a flat to rolling course. How you distribute the time by zone depends on how you feel. But keep it on the easy side. Don't exceed Zone 2 for more than a few seconds at a time as when accelerating from a stop light or going up a short hill. Comfortably high rpm.
If indoors, keep it to the shorter side and change gearing frequently to simulate riding outdoors.
