Monday 5:30AM PWR cycle at #LifetimeFitness. I have backed off of my previous efforts somewhat and it has helped with issue in my right quad. I got sucked into competing against this tri-athlete 25 years younger than me since the power numbers are displayed in class. I could keep up with him, but at the cost of a slight injury. So I’ll back off and slowly build up. Today was all speed. Lots of furious pedaling.

Friday 5:30AM PWR cycling at #LifetimeFitness. I backed off on the intensity today because I have had some discomfort in my right groin. Still a pretty good workout, but not a full on effort. The result is that my heart rate only averaged 116 bpm. Since Saturday is #parkrun (although I am not running tomorrow), maybe a reduced effort on Friday would be a good idea.

Friday 5:30AM PWR cycling at #LifeTimeFitness. 4 challenges. Each challenge had a 5-minute power block followed by five sprints. The sprints in the first challenge were 60 seconds. Then 45, 30, and 15. After lifting and running yesterday, was a little worn out. But I powered through it. Actually not bad numbers overall.

Friday 5:30AM PWR Cycle at #LifeTimeFitness. Three challenges, all the same. Two 2-min blocks with 1st being 90 sec heavy climb and 30 sec sprint. 2nd block steady ride at FTP. Then 30-45-60-45-30 pyramid. I was able to hold heavy climb (max 65 RPM) at FTP (315W). Yes! Overall power and calories down, but this was a successful workout. Happy about power on climbs.

Wednesday 5:30AM PWR Cycling at #LifetimeFitness. Figured something out about Monday’s ride. We did a lot of low speed high resistance work and I struggled with that comparatively. On Wed, I did much better power and calorie wise, except for about a five minute stretch where we did the low speed work. I need to build strength to handle that kind of climbing.

Monday 5:30AM EDG Cycling at #LifetimeFitness. I did 9.62 cal/min, which is down from last week. Heart rate down, too. The seat was lower than I usually have it and I got a looping motion in my left leg that I just couldn’t get out. Hard to tell if the seat being lower had much effect. But just couldn’t exert the energy that I did last week.
