I got a bit of late start this morning- it was my turn to take the kids to school. So instead of getting up at 4:30, I slept in to 6. Then I did my dad duties- getting the girls dressed, fed, and ready for school. After doing that it was time to crank out Spinervals 17- another aero base building day. The goal of today's workout was again to stay in the blue zone to build aerobic endurance and focus on burning fat- I certainly did that. And today was a recovery day from yesterday's hard effort.
This was my first time using Spinervals 17 and I am glad I now have this DVD- long intervals but with a twist. After each minute you get a 15 second break- just enough to have the HR come down 5-8 beats, but not enough to change your effort level. This was a definitely a good workout although I had to cut it about 10 minutes short- sometimes work really has a way of getting in the way of things!
I am looking forward to an easy spin and strength training tomorrow. I am planning on an easy run as well.
Stats for the day:
Time- 1:01:19
Distance- 20.75 miles
AVG HR- 139
Calories 650
