Of Mice and Marathons

AM: 3 hours 20' on the trainer. 200W. HR 125. 

Solid endurance ride. Kept things patient. I started assembling the weight machine yesterday and finished today. Assembled the Concept 2 rower, which is a nice machine and the price wasn't too bad for how reliable and durable it supposedly is. Still waiting on my weight plates, which were a little delayed, but not big deal. I should be able to do my first at-home strength session this week (well, the first of the kind that I need to do for cycling).

Day off.

Taking my days off as scheduled and my down weeks as scheduled. I actually got a lot of grading done this morning while the boys were at school, so it worked out quite well.

PM: foam rolling 

AM: 90' on the trainer. 203W. HR 122. 

AM: 90' on the trainer. 200W. HR 123.

AM: 60' on the trainer. 143W. HR 94.

The boys had a half day, which was not great timing, but not much to be done.

AM: 2 hours 10' on the trainer. 214W. HR 138. 

4 x 10' Sweet Spot

Somewhat lighter workout this week being a down week, which I hate, but know I need and know it will take me further. The nice thing is that it isn't a complete week, but much lighter 4-5 days and then a regularish few days toward the end, still getting in an interval session and long ride.
