What are your warmup/cooldowns like for, say, an SST session?
My warmup is usually:
5min easy spin
5min @ FTP to get the cobwebs out
5min easy spin
then I get into my main SST set.
My cooldown is where I think I'm messing things up. Basically at the end of my main set I'll just spin easy for about 5 minutes or until my heart rate gets down into Z1/Z2. Is this the right way to do it?
i'll follow my on-the-bike time with about 5-10 minutes of stretching.
