Round The Reservoirs With Some Friends, Then Hard Day – BionicOldGuy

Date:


Casa Loma Road

My Tuesday group and I road around the two local reservoirs, Uvas and Chesbro, plus an out and back on Casa Loma. I was on my e-bike so was able to stay at a steady, fairly easy, pace. It was a nice day for it, not too warm.

On Wednesday I rode my recumbent for one of the two hard days I do each week. I’ve really been enjoying my latest version of a hard day workout:

  • warmup
  • An hour at my highest aerobic tempo, heart rate about 120
  • 4x about 4 minute very brisk intervals
  • 8x about 90 sec intervals
  • “Double Tabata” = 8×40 sec sprints with 20 sec recovery
  • “Tabata” = 8×20 sec sprints with 10 sec recovery
  • On-bike strength = 16 reps per side pedalling at high gear with one leg, repeat4 times per side
  • On-bike strength = 16 reps in high gear uphill
  • cooldown

This is very challenging but I feel great after doing it, not too worn out.
