This is the kind of pain I like

3-hour ride in the brisk January air bookended with two 30-min intervals.

I hate doing threshold sessions indoors. I dread them. As a matter of fact, I’d prefer to be out on the road in below freezing weather with a 30mph headwind doing them than in my basement with two big fans blowing on me. Plus, for whatever reason, I’ve never been able to hit the same numbers on the trainer as I do on the road. So instead of my regular 20-min LT efforts, I was given this alternate workout for trainer sessions. I like it much better.
