I'm really happy to be back to biking...it's been too long for me. Here we are...Denise and I on our first 20 mile ride of the year.
Today was my first time doing interval training. Yea, that first interval sucked! But I got used to them and the time actually went by very quickly. We rested (walked) for 2 minutes in between each lap. Here's my breakdown.

Well I am running today - might as well get some sprints in! LOL!
ReplyDeleteSpeed workouts fall on Thursdays for me! 5-6 800s, bleh! But they work! ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat job doing your speed work! I've grown to like intervals, only because I feel so proud of myself afterwards. :) And they really do help you improve your speed!
ReplyDeleteYes, I like see my best pace even though I know it was probably for mere seconds. LOL
