Joined the 6:30am morning Cycle U. My legs hurt before I even finished the first interval. Running at 8:00pm Thursday and then cycle U less than 12 hours later was tough. I did three 7 minute zone 4 threshold (90-95 RPM Cadence) intervals and one 9 minute zone 4 threshold interval. At the end of the intervals my heart rate was 80-83%mhr. Stayed at the bottom of zone 4 for first 3 intervals and pushed the last 3 minutes of the final interval at the top of zone 4.

I've decided instead of getting discouraged when life gets in the way of my workouts, I'll just figure out how to work them in. So this week my second run and my Thursday ride were switched and my rest day and weekend ride will be switched. Tomorrow I'll put on some easy miles either on the road or rail trail (depending on weather). If there is snow, it will be trainer or rail trail...today I'm just taking it easy.
