Pop quiz hotshot, it's dark in an hour, and you still need to get a workout in, what do you do?


The answer: hill repeats.

There is short steep climb a few blocks from my house that I've done repeats on before. Jordan was up for intervals, so we jumped on the bikes, did a quick 10 minute warm-up and cranked out 6 repeats. The amazing thing is Jordan stayed right on my wheel almost to the top each time. Dang. He's really getting strong.

Of course, 6 wasn't enough for him, but I convinced him we needed to cool down while there was still light. I think we'd still be out there racing up the climb right now if I let him.

  2. do hill repeats if you wanna get better at hill repeats.. take it from me: specificity is key.. i'd do 2 by 10 minute tt efforts.. or 3 by 4 minute.. more fun than going up a hill too..
