Right now was my higher physique exercise adopted by a straightforward bike journey. I forgot to say in speaking about periodization yesterday that in case your foremost train mode is lower-body particular like biking, it can be crucial to not neglect coaching the higher physique with its personal workouts. After I’m closely emphasizing biking like now, I nonetheless do no less than half-hour of higher physique work twice every week, described right here. It was cloudy with mild drizzle (like what they name “Oregon mist” in Oregon) for many of the journey, which is the vanguard of our new storm coming in. But it surely was nonetheless pleasing. I used to be on my upright with fatter tires so I took it right down to Harvey Bear park in San Martin, and rode on the paths partway up the hill on the Willow Springs path earlier than heading again. Good view from up there, even on a day on the gloomy aspect. Posted on Strava right here.
