Saturday's workout is a zone 1-2 moderate effort cardio workout. The goal of this workout is to allow your body to dictate which zone you train in. This is intended to be a recovery and aerobic maintenance workout. If you are racing on Sunday and feel tired or think you need additional rest, feel free to switch Saturday and Sunday's workouts.
Sunday is always reserved for riding but for those of you who cannot ride, enjoy the scheduled workout.
