Of Mice and Marathons

AM/Lunch: 90' on the trainer (Andrews -1). 164W. HR 135.

PM: 4.4 miles in 40' (9:11). HR 158.

Treadmill seemed to work fine. Forced myself to run as I was not feeling the day, but felt good during and after.

5' each @ 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 6.0 (all @ 2% incline)

AM: 4.4 miles in 40' on the treadmill (9:09) HR 151.

Megan has a synchronous class on Tuesdays, so I did a run in the morning instead of a ride to save time. Same session as yesterday at a good deal easier effort.

5' each @ 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 6.0 (all @ 2% incline).

As long as the treadmill seems to be working I am going to keep runnign days on Monday and Thursday for now, and likely a short on on Tuesdays as time allows. I'll add 5' each week and extend it out until I hit 80' twice a week and keep it there. Right now the treadmill at a moderate pace is helping me focus on running. It's brutually cold outside anyway.

PM: 60' on the trainer (Pioneer). 208W. HR 148.

This was a very efficient hour. HR stayed quite low. I will start midweek intervals in about three weeks, so I did a steady/moderate hour just to see what things would look like.

The boys are good. I think they have 3-4 (or more) teeth coming in join the first round. Definitely starting to get more toddlerish.

AM: 60' on the trainer (Beech). 184W. HR 135.

Bars dropped during the ride. I tried to tighten the lever on the cam lock and snapped it off. I was not please but should have seen it coming. Ran to the hardward store to pick up a bolt set up. Not thrilled. Apparently the slippage is a known problem and Wahoo has some weird, drawn out overnight settling process for it.

PM: 4.4 miles in 40' on the treadmill (8:58). HR 154. 

5' each @ 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0. 7.5, 7.0. Did some strides in the last 10' around 9-10+ MPH

iFit console has been buggy and apparently has been shutting off on Megan. We think it might be a Wi-Fi issue as we have a lot of devices connected and the Wi-Fi signal is not full strength. Just more crap to go wrong.

AM: 60' on the trainer (Bald Knob). 181W. HR 140.

My bolt setup worked, but not completely. Wahoo is sending me a new clamp, but if my re-reworked setup works, I'll just put it in the parts bin.

Slammed the bars so they couldn't possibly dropped and made all the adjustments around that and tested it this afternoon for fit. Seems like I got it pretty close. Some light tinkering left maybe, but I feel more confident that stuff isn't going to move.

PM: 60' on the trainer (Zwift). 167W. HR 138.

I think daycare are basically shutting down, so it looks like childcare should be difficult. We weren't going to put them in daycare the first part of the year anyway with the virus raging. Should probably just wait once again with my class cut. Just gets to much with everyone home all the time.

AM: 90' on the trainer (Phoenix -2). 201W. HR 148.

Felt strong. Good tempo ride.

AM/Lunch: 120' on the trainer (Beehive). 189W. HR 139.

Got through 2 hours on the trainer fine. Picked my wheels up at the bike shop. Was going to tried to get the bike ready for the morning and stud the rear tire, but just didn't get there. The guys ended up going out later anyway. Oh well.
