If you are like me, it can be really hard to get out of a warm bed on a cold winter morning to log miles on the bike or to head out for a winter LSD run. But the truth is this is where you can make the most improvement in your aerobic efficiency and increase your volume. I have spent many winters out on the cold roads logging miles to prepare for upcoming seasons...and the results..PRs in most races following a long winter of slow, aerobic training. Ask any of my athletes who have followed this advice and they will tell you that it does make a difference. One way to increase the likelihood that you will get out there during the cold is to enlist a buddy or buddies crazy enough to do it with you. Misery in numbers is always better than going at it alone, plus everyone who joins in reaps the benefits during the warm summer months of racing. So bundle up, hit the road, and tell Mr. Freeze I sent you!
