April 9 - PWR -- Threshold Step Up 2 — Beats, Bikes & Life Stuart Davis was an American painter who integrated jazz into his art. I won’t pursue the music angle in this post, that’s too 2020.

“This week’s profile tackles three different cycling efforts: steady-state, surges (or accelerations) and pyramids. Each drill challenges your cardiovascular system in a different manner.

The momentum of your cycling is what makes it easier to carry on. There is nothing worse than having to stop when cycling outdoors because of the effort it takes to get things back into motion. It requires energy to build up speed again and if we’re doing this too often, we’ll use up our fuel reserve quicker meaning exhaustion will creep up on us a lot faster.
