threshold stuff...

Tuesday evening:

I set out on my next CompuTrainer workout on the schedule which was an hour & 45 minute ride with 9 by 5 minute threshold efforts with one minute recovers between each interval...an extra interval compare to last weeks session. As I used the CT ergo coaching mode on the system which allows me to control the watts resistance to acheive a proper workout I started off with a progressive warm-up through minute 40 then I went right into my first 5 minute threshold blast followed up by a "shorty"recovery then right into the next 5 minute interval...repeat 9 of these this time but I remained focused and got through them just fine :-)

At about the an hour and thirty three minutes into the ride finally came the cool-down portion after the intervals as I spun-out my legs to help recover them which believe it or not actually works. Average HR for the ride was 116bpm with a max on a inteval of 151bpm...at 1:51:06 my CompuTrainer ride was done for the night! Glad that one was over with :-)

Wednesday:

Complete rest & recovery day from any sort of exercising as this has become my rest day of lately!
