Carmichael Field Test

I got some training DVDs to watch while on the rollers. Trouble is they are really for build/peak stage as they consist mainly of VO2/threshold workouts. Still will be interesting to try them when time comes around.

One of them features Chris Carmichael (of Lance Armstrong fame) and he suggests a field test to set exercise zones. Quite simple, 2x8 mins with 10 mins rest and take power from best interval.

As weather was nice thought I would give it a try on H10/3. Managed first at 330W but second was weedy at only 290. Put that down to fact I have been taking things easy and still on post Munich diet.

Nonetheless a useful benchmark for the future.
