MAP TEST: AB 135 / AT 168
TOday I had a map test done at the gym to check my training zones. I was pleased at my AT and now realize my zones and see I need to train more in zone 3. It was very interesting and I would like to do it again next year.
RUN: 45MIN. / TREADMILL/ 10:1 / AVE HR 138
The gym was packed but it made the time go fast with so many people to watch. I did 10 min on 4.0-10 min. hill climb, 10 min pickups to 5.o then 10 on 4.0 . It felt like a good workout.
SATURDAY: SPINNING/ 70 MIN. / AVE HR 148/ MAX HR 171
SUNDAY: RUN/ 90 MIN./ 4:1 / AVE HR 138/ APPROX: 6 MILES
The Bottom Line Challenge has begun and training is kicking in. spinning was with Mary. It was intense flats with hills in 11 minute segments. I really pushed out of the comfort zone. My leags were tired Sat. On Sunday went back and did the treadmill. After 30 min. I was able to settle in. I am pleased with the weekend.
The week ahead: Mon- easy run, Tues- map test and spinning, Weds??/ Thurs First Brick: 15 run-60 spin-15 run/ Friday rest/ Saturday- spin/SUnday run. This is flexible.
Also- got on the scales an I've lost 8 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!
SPINNING: 60 MIN/ INTERVALS X 5(9MIN) /AVR HR 148
Another hard workout. I kept up and felt exhausted when done. 3 people in the class went straight to the treadmill-guess what -they are training for Galena also. That was intimidating. I need to do that make on a Thurs becase Cindy is easier. REMEMBER IT'S ALL ABOUT THE COURAGE TO START!!!!!! I feel like I'm starting all over in a way.
RUN: TREADMILL /30 MIN/ HR130-140
My legs were really tired. Alot of days in a row. So i just took it fairly easy. I signed up to have map testing done next week to figure ou what my AT is. I think that will help. I have never believed in HR training bu this is making me think.
SPINNING: 1 HOUR/ 4 X 9MIN/ AVE HR 148
Tonight we did 4 sections of 9 mins. Each section had 3 min of speed intervals, 3 of resistance changes, and 3 of climbing. What a workout. My legs wer so tired. I change the seat to Higher(F), and it also gave me more leg work. Tomorrow should probably be an easier day-run.
SPINNING: 1HR/ AVE HR 147
Tony had us do a strength workout. My legs were really tired fron running but after 30 min -I felt good. The plan for the week ahead: mon & Wed spin. Tues and Thurs run. and hopefully a longer run on Saturday. But as always -let's be flexible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
