Interval Training: Time to Regain Bike Fitness

After Ironman Australia my shoulder injury got worse, not better, so I decided to take an extended break from swimming and focus on my cycling and running. I found an excellent Triathlon group to train with—the Sydney Triathlon Group—and particularly enjoyed their group rides. There are some seriously good cyclists and it is demanding to keep up with them. After two months of training I was getting some good results with my cycling fitness when I had to go on a seven week overseas trip, sans bicycle. By the time I was back I had lost much of my hard won cycling fitness.  I had kept my running up so that was fine, but I was very unhappy with my cycling.
