60 minutes bike = 8 miles Cross Training Equivalent (CTE). I record these CTE miles separately but do not include them in running mileage. 10m wu + 10 x (2min hard, 2 min easy) + 10m wd. 18.1 miles total. Most workbouts @ 100-110rpm @ Level 11 resistance on far RHS bike at the Y. HR in mid-160s at end of most workbouts, but 171 on last rep.
Quality workout but not all out. I wanted to get in a hard workout today but wasn't sure it was a good idea to run hard with my Achilles being tender, so I hit the bike. Easy tomorrow, long run Sunday.
Weights (lower body and abs) beforehand. Had a hard time raising the HR today, and this bike workout was not as good as a couple I did in May (where workbouts were generally 110-115rpm @ 12 resistance). Some possible reasons: *Different bike at the Y, maybe resistance is not comparable *Not sure I had my feet properly in the stirrups today *Did my leg weights beforehand today, so legs were already spent when I started
*My training has been hard this week and I'm tired
