Right now was my higher physique exercise adopted by a simple bike journey. I forgot to say in speaking about periodization yesterday that in case your primary train mode is lower-body particular like biking, it is necessary to not neglect coaching the higher physique with its personal workouts. Once I’m closely emphasizing biking like now, I nonetheless do at the least half-hour of higher physique work twice per 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 fulfilling. I used to be on my upright with fatter tires so I took it all the way 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.
