AM: 2 back-to-back Flywheel classes to take the place of my speed bike workout. Oh my gosh, this was so awesome. I have a little IT band tightness and leg soreness from the elliptical (which I am loving bc I think that means I'm building back closer to running muscles). I wasn't targeting for 1st place on the torque board (shows everyones' total power output), but halfway through the class I managed to go from 3rd or 4th, to 2nd place and only 1 power unit behind 1st. Naturally, I push it at the end and come out finishing the class in 1st place by 5 points! Holla! I wore my Garmin to track my hr. Shoot, my training effect is already 4.9 by the end of the 1st class! (4.0 means highly improving, 5.0 means overreaching). Took the 2nd class a little easier. Class 1 total power: 281 Class 2 total power: 274 Pretty surprised the total power was so similar when I thought I was sandbagging the 2nd class. I am now counting down the mins until I get to test out the AlterG for the first time!! PM: 1st running session on AlterG! 30 mins at 30% body weight. 2 min walk (4 MPH)/3 min run (7, 8, 9, 10, 10, 10.2 MPH). It was really weird to get going. I could definitely tell I needed to neural reprogramming to increase my cadence after all that water jogging! It's just like riding a bike I guess because by the end of the session it felt "normal" to run at a faster leg turnover.
