Not so energetic

2010-10-29-pocket-apocalypse

After taking the last three days off from riding and staying home from work for the last two, I decided I needed to attempt a ride today. I picked a favorite podcast from PodRunner, “Pocket Apocalypse”, 151 bpm, 75 rpm, 60 minutes and started the ride out strong and confident. Something about being sick even for a [...]

Then there are just some days [...]

What a Difference a Week Makes

2010-10-08-under-the-sun

Last week I attempted to ride to PodRunner’s podcast “Under the Sun”, 179 bpm, 89 rpm, 56 minutes and didn’t have much success past 20 minutes trying to pedal at 90 rpm. Tonight, same podcast, different results! I kept up the pace for the whole podcast. I started to feel my legs burn at the 30 [...]
