I have become a little worried about the lack of diversity in my training regimin. I've been logging long hours on the bike and feeling the benefits, but I want to maintain a high level of "whole body" fitness so I cut way back on the cycling milage and instead focused on strength work for three weeks. I like the CrossFit WOD concept so I do them nearly every day now. I built Kathy a 10' slosh-tube which is also a great work-out aid. The last three weeks have been 90% anaerobic with lots of sets to failure.
Two things happened...
I lost 10 lbs.
I PR'd the first time back on the bike.
Probably a combination of newly developed strength and a health appetite for riding after a couple of weeks off.
