I was going to run, but decided to get my bike workout in as I wasn't sure how much time I would have later, as we are taking the boys to a Halloween event downtown. I went to bed quite early again last night and got a great night of sleep (not that I ever really struggle). I was ready for this session as I wanted to see where my power above threshold was. I figured based on previous workouts 325 on the low end wouldn't be a problem. 325-355 was the range and I wanted to keep it in the middle to upper end of that range without going to far beyond except for the last interval or two.
