Hump Day

This morning was the usual Computrainer class and man my legs were hurting. We did some heavy sets, 6 x through the following set: 2 minutes at 90% of threshold, 1 minute at 10% above threshold, 2 minutes at threshold, 2 minutes recovery. The strange thing about the set is I actually felt better on the last one than on the first one, I think this is mostly mental as you know you are done at the end. Either way I hope these two a week Computrainer classes are working as my legs have been toast lately.

Monday I did the usual masters class and nothing big there. Coach Chris figured out how to set the clock to restart on the interval which kept me from having to do math in my head which is always a struggle, so that was a nice change of pace. I think I added it up that we got 2900+ in Monday night. Overall swimming felt pretty good.

Tuesday called for a 90 minute ride and a 60 minute endurance run. The legs were still a little heavy from Sunday's run as I think I may have pushed them to the limit on the run. In order to break up the monotony of riding in my basement I went to Endure It! and rode the Steelhead course for 90 minutes. This is the first course I have done in over a year, besides the TT so it was good to mix things up. I think this time of year with the weather up and down as it has been the body is ready to get outdoors on the bike. We have been hitting the trainers hard since November, the bike trainer is worse than a treadmill in my opinion.

Last night I went for a 60 minute run outside. I ran the prairie reserver again and heading south was straight into a head wind with some sleet but coming back felt great. Overall the run was average, over 7 miles and a pace of 8:05.

Last night I managed to eat about three quarters of a Lou Malnati's pizza, topped it off with some cookies'n cream ice cream and hit the sack. Maybe it was the quanity of food that went in my mouth past seven last night that explains why I was dragging ass this morning. Oh well.
