PRAISE
From Steve Larsen - April 2005 issue of Triathlete Magazine
10-MILE TIME TRIAL: "The old standby -- I don't know why, but after 20
years in cycling, I always come back to this workout. As the Mad Cows can
attest, this is one marker that never lies. When I moved back to Davis in 2001,
I resurrected the old weekly 10-miler, and it has proven to be the ultimate
test. The distance and effort required encompass all the key components of
cycling performance, including lactate tolerance, max VO2, power at anaerobic
threshold, and endurance."
