Favourite L1 Workouts

Hey, since there's a theme running....

I love the morning light roll before coffee with the boys on the day of a track meet that night.😉

It just so happens that I know my total L1 minutes this year (at least through 10/15). I had 1015 L1 mins (compared with 8157 L4 mins). My favorite L1 time is drafting behind an attractive woman.

How about 3 attractive women doing a paceline at the front of the group ride i was on last weekend. 😄

For some reason the 10 guys didn't have a problem letting them take the front for a while. 🙄

Attention all men with wives and kids....... Is "The wife" on your case for training so much?
Then do my well "targeted" favorite L1 ride in the country..... with my wife and kids.

Not only is this a nice recovery ride but it may net you some extra fun with the wife. 😉 They do like their "quality time", so put some in and reap the rewards with two forms of active recovery. 😄

equally, i'm sure there's some women cyclists who have husbands (or bfs or whatever gender their partner is) who are on their case for training too much. and doing recovery rides with them *could* be quite useful (however it may not be useful if the partner is quite unfit and the cyclist barks orders at the partner to be faster).

I can safely say that I despise getting on the bike to do L1. Our club rides are never L1, and we only have 2 attractive females in the club that typically ride a separate route from the racers.

Maybe I'm just doing them wrong.

I got flamed for making that kind of comment 😄
By the way where is our favorite female cycling fanatic?
Maybe she is busy busting up her KK replacement trainer 🙂

I can't seem to stay committed to my planned recovery rides. I always seem to increase the pace and by the end I will have some L3's and maybe even a few minutes in L4.
I have got to learn to be more disciplined.😄

Wow I'm learning things about Timan I never expected and agree pulling the six year old down the rail trail with the family is the best L1 I've done. The worst is commuting in 7F weather.

Yep. My favorite L1 doesn't involve a bicycle at all. 🙂
