Training Log: Saturday, April 24, 2010

Good day of spinning - I had planned to ride outside, but the weather this morning was 45 degrees with an 18 MPH wind (that steadily climbed to 28 mph throughout the day) and rain/snow mix. Not a good day to ride outside.

So...I went to the gym and rode on a spinning bike for 4 hours.

The first hour was mixed drills with fast cadence (95-105 BPM), power climbs (level 7 @ 75-80 BPM) and running climbs (Level 8-10 @ 45-75 BPM).
The second hour consisted of mostly power climbs and running climbs.
The third hour was all about speed drills. I completed 4 "Lance Cadence Drills" (Level 2/3 @ 115-120 BPM) with regular cadence (95 BPM) and power climbs in between.
The fourth hour was a mix again, much like the first hour, but with a little less climbing and easier levels (mostly level 3-7).

All in all, it was a solid ride. Tomorrow I can look forward to 5 hours outside on my bike - looking forward to it.

Here's the summary for today:

Total ride time: 4 hours
Average speed: 16 MPH
Total Miles: 64 miles
