I'm not sure how many cyclists do drills as opposed to just getting out and pounding the pavement. Over the past four weeks, however, I have had an opportunity to take part in a Turbo Drill Set on the indoor trainer with my bike. It is one of the many drills that is provided by the IM program that I am following.
Simply put, the Turbo Drill set is like a pyramid of building in RPM with 2 minute recoveries in between followed by an increase in the amount of time pedaling > 100 RPM. I thought I would just take a minute to say what an awesome drill this is. The goal is to improve your speed. One of the things I noticed by week #4 of doing the drill is that I really had more to give each and every interval increase.
So, for those who get tired of the monotony and want to try something different but useful, surf the net and find a drill set or two to mix in with simply pounding the pavement. You may be surprised by the results!
