Sunday 1/27: Hard intervals on the trainer, 60 minutes
Spin 10, 2x (5 x 2 min max effort WI, 2 min RI) w/ 5 min RI between sets, spin 5

My fitness level is very good now. I am able to push a bigger gear in the WI and maintain a high cadence without losing power.

Looking ahead this week, I am hoping to take advantage of a relative warming trend (30's and even low 40's) in the early part of the week to run outside. I want to do a speed interval workout if I can fit one in (and if it is not raining).

Friday 1/25: Tempo intervals on the trainer, 72 minutes
4 x Spin 8, Tempo 8 + Spin 8 cooldown

Swapped this for short intervals (speedwork) run. My main reason is that due to scheduling issues, I may need to do a long run tomorrow. Great workout, as it turned out. And a solid first marathon week, I would say.

Monday 1/21: Hard intervals on the trainer, 65 minutes
Spin 10, 2x (5 x 2 min max effort WI, 2 min RI) w/ 5 min RI between sets, spin 10

My tried-and-true interval session. This one is a suffer fest every time. Watched the Democratic debates while riding, which only increased the pain. I will withhold further comment, but I have to say I didn't hear a single new idea the whole 65 minutes...is that too much to ask? one idea?

Haven't reported on my weight in a while. Today I was 160lbs on the nose. Steady as she goes.

Sunday, 1/7: Hard Eights on the Trainer
Spin 8, 4 x 8 min hard intervals w/ 5-6 min RI, Spin 8

Good workout today! It's warming up for the next few days too, so I hope to get a longer run in tomorrow.
