Hey guys:
I have been hitting the roads and rail trail since DST broke a few weeks early this year and tried to get a jump on fitness and have been struggling with doldrums or something. How long does it normally take you guys to snap-to during the early season, my benchmark times are wayyyy off at this point and not improving very rapidly. I have found that my HR is not driving as readily as it was last season.. Generally been riding 3-6 times a week at no less than 14 miles a ride generally 25 miles or slightly more though. Just kind of doing distance but not a lot of sprints or standing. FInding that in the colder weather the legs are getting lead-like quickly when i try to sprint...not sure if it's the cold or just something else.
I have been doing a pretty steady circuit weight program on my bowflex since christmas, and wondering if it's actually working against me.
