Week
of October 12
When I went to spin at St. Cloud State University, I
noticed that at what I perceived adequate exertion, my heart rate was not as high as when I was
spinning 4-5 times per week from Labor Day, 2013 to May, 2014 prior to my accident on June 9, 2014. Part of that may
be a result of conditioning from 5 months of riding, but I perceived that I just had not been training
at a high enough intensity, despite all of the miles I had ridden since
beginning this quest.
So, what you will see is a reorienting of my training for
a while. That is, I will focus on shorter, but with greater intensity workouts.
My expectation is that this will increase both my strength and speed.
- Monday : 15 miles on the Keiser spinning at SCSU, followed by Tabata – (Whew!)
- Tuesday: 24 miles on my fat bike with Joel, etc. = 36 road bike equivalent
- Thursday: 19 on fat bike with Central MN Bicycle Club ride = 28 equivalent
- Sunday: 6 on my fat bike around Fish Lake = 9 miles equivalent
- Total for week: 88 miles
Week
