On the Dark Side - Sufferfest!

Tonight Dave and I did the Sufferfest's On The Dark Side training video, and it Rocked!  But literally the sound track had some pretty great rock tunes, and it was a great workout at the same time.  I love the sufferfest videos (http://www.thesufferfest.com/).  They are all great, one workout at a time, making new art of suffering on the trainer.  The great thing about Sufferfest video's is that they keep you entertained while maximizing your effort, check out my garmin file:


If you view the details, the ride was a great interval training session with enough rest to allow me to maximize my work intervals.  My Anaerobic Threshold is about 148, and if you look at my Heart Rate Graph, you will see HR's in the 150's peaking out at 160 during most intervals.  What this means is that my legs were butter when I got off the bike!  But it also means I might gain some power on those hills I dread so much in the spring when I reamerge on the road again...
I have done most of the sufferfest video, and have equally enjoyed all of them.  You can arrange their use by interval types in if you want.  Some are shorter bouts with pyramid type workouts, while others have longer sustained intervals.  Check them out for yourself, you will never go back to instructor lead video again.
Thank you sufferfest!
