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…
Monday swim workout
Had a good swim workout this morning. Usually the first time through the main set I do well and then I just fall apart and can never seem to catch my breath. Today, though, was different and I felt stronger at the end. Maybe my swimming is getting better, I hope so. I did do…
CP30
This morning I did my 3rd Critical Power test. If you have been following my blog you know that I have been wondering if I had calibrated the CompuTrainer correctly and my score was artifically high. Well, this morning I warmed up for the 30 minutes and calibrated 10 minutes into the ride. The results were that I…
Good swim workout
Had a good swim workout today. I was in early and got in a few extra yards during the warmup and managed to keep up for the pull. I liked the workout today because the distances were a little shorter than we do some other times so it was kind of like sprinting and I think we…
