All righty then ... Today was a 30 minute bike on the trainer in the morning. I pushed it pretty hard since it was only 30 minutes and was feeling awesome after the ride.
After work today I came home and tossed on my kicks and some shorts and headed out. It was a little cold (high 40's) but after a couple of minutes I warmed up real quick. I ended up doing 3.58 miles in 30:27. That is a pace of 8:31/mi which has become a rather comfortable pace for me. I'd say it is in the RPE 3 zone.
Week Eight, according to my training plan, is a recovery week. I am still doing 9-10 workouts but the length is not as long. Part of me wants to do more but I still have 12 weeks of this plan to go and I am guessing the rest weeks are included for a reason. Sooooo ... I will just keep the intensity a bit higher than normal.
Tomorrow is 30 minutes Bike and 30 minutes swim. Also, I have another product that I am going to put to the test and then do a review and will explain a little more tomorrow.
Thanks for Reading,
Jeff
Good job, Jeff! I like your drive and dedication. You have really taken to the endurance sports very well. Me... well, I guess I am just an old-school gym rat type. Too late for me... you know that old dog new tricks thing. LOL!
ReplyDeleteYAY!! Another LOST fan!
ReplyDeleteGym rat. Even though I workout at home, I guess I'm one of those!
ReplyDeleteMy 13-year old daughter just entered her second road race, but this time she's doing the adult 5K with some friends! She has awesome form and is so athletic, she's a natural. Dad might have to suck it up and run alongside, or behind her. I'll have to clank along in my cross trainers!
