Deciding what to do for a training session, sometimes it’s as easy as not riding and rest, other times I do intervals, and like tonight decide to spin.
Podcasts from PodRunner really make it easy to just zone out and pedal. Picking arrangements that fall within my natural cadence of 75 – 80 rpm encourange me to just keep pedaling and not get tired.
I’ve have several PodRunner podcasts in the 150-160 bpm range (75-80 rpm) and really enjoy the latest one called “Chants Meeting” 149 bpm, 75 rpm.
The goal tonight was to keep the cadence over the 75 rpm of the podcast (actually spinning over 78 rpms and not slowing down below 75 rpms). In doing so, my heart rate is also kept in a reasonable range, staying “aerobic” 70% of the time.
