The plan was to get up this morning and do another spin session before work. That plan went out the window when I woke this morning feeling extremely tired. So instead I drank the coffee that Mr CJ had left for me, ate my muesli and read the paper. Decided I would do the session after work instead.
Lunchtime - Gym
Wow - two days I've made it to the gym this week. This has to be a record of sorts for me. Today it was a lower body weights session plus ab exercises, consisting of the following:
Swiss ball squats
Stationary lunges
Swiss ball single leg raises
Standing calf raise
Glute machine
Swiss ball crunches
Reverse crunches
Twist crunches
After work - Spin session on hometrainer
Session - 5min wu; 5 x 2min fast (2min RI); 5 x 1min fast (1min RI); 5min cd
Time spent on bike seat - 40 loooooooonnnnnnnngggggggg minutes
AHR - 139bpm; MHR - 170bpm
Legs, especially my quads, felt really tired about 30secs into each interval - it may have been the after effects of the gym workout or just that I really suck at cycling. Turned up my ipod and focused on the music and tried to ignore the pain!
Tomorrow - (am) swim then brekkie with Strewth
(lunchtime) retail therapy with Bec

You have an incredible energy. Is it genetics? because as far as you said you don't even eat that much... well I will read your whole blog to see if I discover more about your endurance secrets. Please include more of that.
I love the way you think - including retail therapy into your program!! Speaking of which, I think I need a couple more singlets...
