Daily Goal: 70 miles
Weekly Goal: 400 miles
Today was a great day to be on a trainer! At least that's how it turned out. I went to my usual two spin classes at 24 Hr Fitness - one at 9:30am and the other at noon. I worked to about 80% of effort in both classes so as not to fry my legs. I also rode on a bike in between the classes just to get in a few more miles. By the time I left the club, I had approx 45 miles under my belt. And I was HUNGRY!
After a huge lunch of a home made veggie burger, carrots and celery sticks, squash soup, rice crackers with fresh avocado, and 2 gluten free snickerdoodle cookies, I took a quick 20 min nap. I planned to add the remaining 25 miles on the road that afternoon but as I looked outside, clouds were rolling in and temps were starting to drop...again. The impending cold front was getting closer. So back on my trainer for the remaining 25 miles. I alternated every 5 miles - high cadence (95-100 cadence with 140-160 watts) and big gear (60-70 cadence with 180-210 watts). Even though I spent all my riding today on some form of stationary bike, I felt like I had a good workout and my legs are starting to feel fatigued. Yeay!
