The one thing about hosting spin sessions in one's garage is that, of the potential 7 riders, at LEAST one will be making the weekly committments to suit up and inhale the toxic fumes that have accumulated within the semi insulated space. This translates into one thing for me......CONSISTENCY!!
Mr. Gilmour decided to bless us with his presence on Wednesday evening, donning his usual matching warm-up suit, and Fil demonstrating his usual demeanor which is comparable to a caged feril greyhound looking to release into a run.
Looking for the "Uphill Grind" was unsuccessful so we popped in Zoots Challenge which included over an hour of sustained high cadence off the saddle spins and lots of tempo work. Fil had hammered out a 12 k XC ski earlier and Pat's fitness raised some suspicion whether he was closet spinning in a secret location OTHER than this garage. Will add stats from this session later..Stats:
57 min
140 bpm avg and 176 max HR
In zone 39 min; above 9 min; below 8 min
564 Kcal
Avg CAD 91; Max 153 (yeah)
What did I learn from this.....the sustained virtual threshold training NEEDS to be altered with more of these tempo and intensity sessions. Felt great.
