Yesterday I only commuted one way. It was simply too cold to ride. That plus my boss bought me lunch, so I didn’t have to ride home, and he also gave me a ride home after work. Not my choice, but he talked me into it. I guess when its about 5 degrees with the wind chill, I am easily persuaded.
Today I got back on the trainer and did the Spinerval #16 workout again. It is a good workout designed to be done at a lower hart rate and work on my aerobic system. The goal is to stay nice and relaxed while doing it. I am fairly happy with my results from checking my heart rate monitor.
The major peaks and valleys are the intervals. So I work hard for a period of time, then recover and pedal easy for a period of time. In the middle of the workouts, the spike is due to me standing and pedaling vs me sitting. While standing you use a whole lot more muscles and is certainly less effective, but helps to stretch the legs out a bit.
