Trainer ride.
Trainer setting Level 1
5 min w/u
6 min hard, 1 min easy
x6
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.

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.

Didn't get to 3 of my exercises. Will try to fit them in later this week. Sigh. It was really busy in there.
