This morning long Intervals were similar to the ones I did last thursday, with the exception that the break in between the two long intervals was only 5 minutes instead of 10 minutes. Session 2 is definitely easier than Session 1 each week, but not by much. My heart rate for the second interval seemed…

On the road again
Finally made it back outside for a run this morning. At 25 degrees it was a little bit chilly, but not too bad. It was nice that it was actually light out while I was running, but I think the time is going to change again this weekend, so it will be back to the dark…
Intervals are getting better
Getting better, but not quite there yet. Last week when I did this workout I was only able to get through 3 of the intervals before falling apart. This week I managed to make it halfway into the 5th interval before my legs just gave out. I rested for 30 seconds and then finished out…
Monday morning swim
Another good workout in the pool this morning. The over all workout was a little bit shorter than usual in total yardage but we were definitely pushing harder. I was leading in my lane so I didn’t get to draft and that made it a little tougher, but I would rather lead if I am…
The Longest Ride
Another long Sunday ride, up to 3 hours now. It’s a long time to be riding on the CompuTrainer, but at least I have the TV to entertain me, and my riding friend Julie. I’m not sure who is more entertaining. There was also my 4 year old son who made an appearance for about…
Friday motivation
The good thing about swimming with a group is that they push you. This morning I was ready to just mail in a few thousand yards and call it a day. I woke up feeling tired and sore, yesterday taking a lot out of me for those intervals I could still feel it in my…
Long Interval Session
This morning I did some long intervals on the CompuTrainer. Well, really just two intervals but they were twenty mintues long and at 90% of my CP30 score. It was definitely a tough workout and you can see from the chart below that my heart rate was really up there for the last half of…
Treadmill again
Another day on the treadmill, nothing really exciting to report. I spent an hour on it and did about 7.4 miles. My heart rate stayed around 145 for the run. One interesting thing I noticed was that when I walk to cool down my heart rate drops to about 105. That is about 15bpm less than…
CompuTrainer Week 11 Session 1
After my recent CP30 testing I figured that the new interval sessions would be great. Everything was calibrated correctly, I should be able to power through these workouts, no more failing in the middle of the tough intervals. Well, good news and bad news. Bad news, I only made it through three of the 6…
