The pattern is clearly established and the garage has been consistently a sweat fest for three days a week to the tune of Coach troy guiding our clan through the variety of aero and anaerobic workouts. Quite happy with the committment from most. Generally sessions are three to four strong and everyone is becoming well versed in heart rate this and lactate threshold that. It was pretty hard to keep the bike INDOORS when the mountain bike was freshly cleaned...errr. brushed off and looking to be let loose. Nonetheless, Frank and Fil (a.k.a. "F-bomb) were in for a ripper. Quick discussions re: hangover this and that led us to decide an aero base builder to sweat out the evil vs a quick suffer fest. We'll leave that for tomorrow's session.
Time to add some stats for future reflection......apparently, if done properly, my avg HR for the 20 minute "all out" time trial was 157....had more in the tank, which reflects a Lactate threshold value of approximately 150.....feel better with 155 lately so using this vs 150.. Todays stats:
1 hr 11 min
138 avg 158 max HR
In zone - 1 hr 4 min; above 1 min; below 5 min
Kcal 715....miss seeing the 1500 plus.....need to get OUTSIDE
Avg CAD 93 and max 129
The plan is to really listen to "guidelines" and keep aerobic 2 of 3 workouts and REALLY push the anaerobic workouts when scheduled. NOw.......to get rid of this slightly hoarse throat to feel comfortable with adding more tension to the trainer and PUSHING it on anaerobic workouts.
TOmmy.........if you are still checking in............what's your status man........countdown begins yesterday to SC ;)
