The week of Valentine's Day (the week before last) was a solid week on the bike:
It had some normal strength time (just under 9 hours which has been pretty standard lately), 22.4 miles of running (again, pretty average over the last 4 months), my first "normal" long since the
fat bike race 3 weeks ago at 11.1 miles (with the middle 6 in 37:18, or averaging 6:13/mile), but then some SOLID trainer time!
The workouts weren't that hard, but they were longer. Here's what I did on my bike:
- Tuesday was 4x10 min efforts with 5 min easy spinning between.
- Thursday was pretty easy with just two 5 min efforts to break things up.
- Saturday was ALSO 4x10 min efforts with 5 min easy spinning between. I wore my Garmin for that one, so here was my heartrate for that workout:
With a total of 4 hours and 38 mins of trainer time, it was just behind
the week that was 2 weeks earlier which was around 4:45 of total saddle time. With these big weeks stacking up, there's a chance that I could beat
last months PR for trainer time!! (Well, technically, IF I beat that, it will also be with 2 fat bike rides added in at the start of the month, so not ALL trainer time.)
