Tonight at Cycling Concepts we did the Spinerval Indoor Trainer workout - Big Gear Madness...Man! Big Chain 12 most of the night, but my bike has an 11 in the rear so when standing I did 11. Was an extra hard workout on the thighs, but not to tough on the heart and lungs as most intervals were less than a minute long, although there were two sets of standing for 45 and 50 seconds and 10 seconds hard for 5 and 3 minutes respectfully that taxed the aerobic system a bit. I can definitely tell the difference between this year and last years indoor training sessions. I am working harder and longer out of the saddle, as well as working at a higher HR for longer periods without fatigue...Nice!
Since I quit smoking cigars on a daily basis, my aerobic capacity has seen a big jump, but so has my waste line. Have to learn to resist the temptation to pig out, but not sure I can. I think I need a hypnotist or something.
Tomorrow should be a good day, and I hope I get to ride a recovery ride of some kind as I will need it. I may go to the gym in the AM for a hot tub stretch, but that will depend upon how I feel then.
