Crosstraining overload. Mental toughness workout or just shows I'm mentally whacked. Tried doing equivalent of a long run with no actual running starting with 30 minutes easy on the bike, 30 minutes easy on stairstepper, and finishing with 65 minutes on the elliptical, mostly at simulated MP effort and all-out at the end. Ugh. All I can say is thank goodness for the MP3 player and my mostly classic rock mix. The Cars, Van Halen, Queen, Foreigner, Supertramp, Beatles and a little known band from NYC called GrooveLily. My favorite workout tune is a GrooveLily song titled "Live Through This" that has a tempo right at 180 so perfect running beat and the lyrics are also great. Had to listen to that one a few times. Plus you gotta love a band that uses a distorted electric violin instead of guitar.
