Great, but many of the top coaches would suggest that anerobic training
will inhibit the aerobic training you need to do during the fall and
winter. Add the anerobic stuff after a few months of aerobic only.

Lance was probably just doing a little speed work once or twice a week
to maintain most of his fitness before his little ride in SF.

Motorpacing doesn't have to be anaerobic though.

Read more carefully and don't clip what I was replying to.

Wouldn't it be great to have the money to pay someone to get rid of
the headwind for you when you're doing your long winter miles?

And what purpose would that serve? Do you understand power output and
"training with power"?

There is NO WAY that carmichael has his working on hi-end speed work
this time of year for the tour next year. If it was up to Chris -
lance would be doing no intensity this year to prepare for next years
tour.

Follow up: Way. Carmichael? LA reported in apparent big effort behind Vespa,
in
hills. Tip for SF?

Andrew is still correct. He is not doing speed work to prepare for the
Tour. He might be doing (brief) speed work to maintain some fitness for
SF.

Why not?? You build up a base in SPEED and carry that speed base into
your
endurance and traditional base building, train at a higher speed during
this
period, you come out with more speed and in theory you would peak at a
higher average speed. I think it's logical ...

um...no.

Any how many tours have you won .. i mean books on this subject have you
read??

My previous answer explained why you're wrong, and the guy who told me
what I told you has trained some of the best pros in the world. I hope
that's good enough for you.

I agree that it would seem pointless to motorpace for any reason other than
speed work. I have no doubt that is what Lance had in mind. However, I have
heard of groups is extremely cold conditions that "motorpace" behind a van
or station wagon in order to reduce the wind chill effect. It seems to me
that I have heard of them doing that at the OTC during the winter some years
ago. These days, you can fix that problem with some of the excellent cold
weather gear but 20 years ago the winter apparel was not nearly as
effective.

He was in a hurry home to take a dump and the scooter was a
convenient way to get there quicker.

If he had his training so dialed in he'd know hiw body well enough to plan
his workout around his dumps...unless he's been hitting the Mexican food
lately (how much does a burrito weigh, Lance?)

I thought those pros could dump by the side of the road, too. Some don't
even bother pulling over (ahem, Greg Lemond).

I seem to recall a former Euro-Pro referring to such an on bike
manuever as a '3 cap crap' or something to that effect. One cap to
catch and two to wipe.
