I made it to the track later than normal. As I finished up my warm-up it started to lightly rain.
The intervals were tough today, but boy I feel like I got a ton of work done today. What is interesting is that I got a ton of distance in as part of the interval work.
The question is what the term "fully recovery between each" interval. To me that means, a shower and a latte after each interval. I'll have to check to see what the conventional workout means!
Easy brick run, as z2/MP out, z3/HMP back. Take 5'' and get your run shoes on. Hit the road for this run.

Last night I was in bed by 9 up at 8 this morning. Boy, I must have been more tired that I would have guessed.
After cooking the fam omelets (and I had cheerios) I headed down to the cave to do my biking. I felt pretty good--I'm able to have more speed while holding withing the targeted heart rates more consistently. Hey this workout thingy is working.
I had a slow transition as a watch a segment on TV about the Buffalo Football team that turned down an invitation to the Tangerine Bowl. After muddling through my transition, I headed up Deer Hill and back on a run. Good workout, good day, very few spousal approval units used today!

I just did not have the mojo. It was a good workout, but not a great workout. I could not keep my heart at the higher rates today on the bike. Hmmmm...

Crappy day at work. No workout today. I'm going to stretch tonight and push all my workouts on day forward. Bah Bah Bah.
WU: 10-15', 3 x 30" (30") SpinUps, in aerobars, then 3 x 2' (1') Zone 3
MS: 2 x 20' (2'). Record each 20' segment as interval. Upload workout file in CPS. Create one range that includes both 2 x 20 intervals, including the 2' rest inteval, for a total of 42' for the range. Normalized watts for range is your Functional Threshold. Enter this number in the Threshold Watts field of the Power Zones table on your CPS Homepage. Be sure to calculate your training zones and configure the date so that it applies this FT to all files going forward.

I got up an cranked out my 20 minute Z5 (which suck!). I think I need to warm-up more--so that I don't spend as much time increasing my heart rate during the first rep.
After that I headed up Deer Hill on a run in the rain. It wasn't that bad out there!
