P1 (Jumps)

This workout is designed to develop explosive power in the legs. This is useful when passing, clearing short steep climbs, and finish sprints. They are structured as follows; sprint using full force while standing for 8 - 10 revalutions of the crank, then recover until the next minute starts. Perform 5 jumps and then take a 5 minutes recovery between sets.
The legs were feeling a little wierd after nearly 100 miles on the road over the weekend. I come to the same realization over and over that I Don't like the cold. My legs get stiff and I can never seem to get them going. Anyway the jumps went well and I could sense more power in the legs. For the first set of jumps, the tension on the trainer was too low and the rear wheel was slipping as I ramped up the speed. I made an adjustement and all was well. I performed 6 sets of 5 jumps.
