2 Hours Indoors at Newington Bike...

2 hours indooors at Newington Bike...Garmin File > by scott_t_ct at Garmin Connect - Details

So I went to Newington Bike this Sunday Morning at 8:30 am for a 2 hour ride while watching the A-Team...Nice! I road real easy, and just wanted to get the time on the bike. 2 hours is a long time in the saddle indoors...Ouch! My legs felt great, but coming of a resent illness I was somewhat uneasy about pushing it, so I went for a light spin and mixing the ride up when I got board. The movie kept my interenst for most of the ride, and kept me focused off of how miserable my behind felt.

I do feel I could have road harder, but wasn't sure whether I could do the 2 hours if I road hard in the 1st hour. Now that I have done a 2 hour indoor ride, I know what my body can handle, and will try to work at an avg HR of 130 bt/min on the next Sunday Ride. That is well below my anaerobic threshold (some 20 bt/min) and within tolerance for a long ride indoor for me.

Tomorrow is an active rest day with some weight training and abs mixed into the workout.

Are you ready for some football...getting my ride in and a shower before the Sunday games is awesome! Now I can sit back and enjoy the afternoon knowing my work is done for the day...

Just keepin'em turnin'!
