Cycle U CompuTrainer | bike commute | core

Who is that lonely cyclist in the dark? Oh it's Martin. All by himself. Just another day at Cycle University, because I'm too much of a wuss to ride outside when it's raining.


Truth be told I am super thankful to have this facility available to our team but man is it hard to finish these workouts alone. On a whim I took my iPod along today and boy was that a stoke of luck as it saved my bacon. Without music or company I probably would have just turned around and headed home.

I started this workout at a threshold setting of 320 watts because 1) I was alone and 2) I just was not sure how I was feeling. Half way through the first interval I upped the threshold power setting to 330, during the break between the intervals I upped it to 340 and half way through the second interval I upped it to 350. I guess I was feeling okay and could have started a bit harder.

And here is my PowerTap data. You can see that I had to quit pedaling briefly twice during the second interval. :( This was due to the lack of company to motivate me. I kept it in the same gear throughout this workout today.

At lunch I got down to the IMA for my core routine. Here is my commute. Just because it seems I am now recording every pedal stroke I ride on a bicycle…
