Quality Level: N/A I punted early again tonight because I wasn't too motivated and once I got into it, legs were not there. I still gutted it out anyway, but tonight is the first night I've felt anything at all challenged at this fairly light level. The most I've had is some minor soreness the first week, some very moderate body heat elevation, but nothing remotely close to breaking a sweat. Now, given, the most I'm hitting is a 2 on the Load Indicator, which is around 44 for Pedal RPM, this rate isn't intensive enough realistically to get to that point, unless I start doubling the time I'm on it, so no real surprises there.
Observations/Intel: Rhythm is starting to become a factor and I'm definitely not used to the saddle, which will take a while, I know, from past experience. I also should have chosen a better driver. Though it's fun to pull out old CDs I've not heard in a while and give them a spin, when I need the extra push, it's not always there...that and the CD player I have is cranky...I might have to consider breaking down and just going to an MP3 player, as I don't think I can find another portable cassette player...
There is also the factor of not being used to nutrition timing, so if I don't choose carefully and overeat, even slightly, like tonight, at dinner, it tends to compromise my already shaky workouts. This will improve, of course and it's worth noting that I'm not really using supplementation of any kind regularly, aside from a multi-vitamin, Co-Q10 and Nattokinase. I am going to gradually try to start working in protein powder, though, on a much more regular basis and depending on how things look in December, may also consider going onto a metabolic enhancer...
