Kept HR above 140 for each of the hard repeats.
I worked really hard. As usual, I'm disappointed with the speed I could achieve for this energy output.
My average speed during the hard intervals was about 18. I couldn't push it any harder and hold it for the 6 minutes. Still, this is the first interval workout I've done on the bike in a long time.
Once intervals were over, I had 6 miles left. I did a combination of LT and one-legged drills and easy spinning.
Found it interesting that I was more comfortable achieving 18mph by pushing a hard gear at a lower cadence than by pushing a low gear at a high cadence.
I need to work on leg strength.

With double jogger and 2 kids.
Pumped up the tires on the jogger, hoping for a better time. No such luck. I wasn't thirsty at all on this run, though, even though I was covered in sweat. Very weird.

June 16

Run
  • 1h 20m
  • 8.00 miles
  • 10m /Mi

Very difficult run. I went out immediately after eating a very fiber-heavy dinner. My stomach felt like it was up in my lungs, and I had to stop for 5 minutes (off the clock) to use the bathroom and stand around for a minute. Still, proud of myself for finishing! Kept it in Zone 3 almost the entire time.
