Duration: ~6mi/~35min
Driver: Ebony Tears: Evil As Hell
Calories: ???

Quality Level: N/A
Observations/Intel: I was planning on not doing sprints today or extending it greatly, until I do a couple things. The first of those is to change out my shoes. The Sauconys I have now are at least 10 years old, probably more, have all the tread worn off of them entirely and have holes in the sides. I have gotten my money out of them, for sure. I also bought a new pair of Sauconys to replace these 3 or 4 years ago, which are still in the box. The second part is to replace the pedals. I'm not sure if the bent pedal arm or the lack of traction of my shoes or both is causing my foot to slip, but obviously that can be hazardous in the more intense parts.

Air was not tested for this workout. Legs bounced back better than I had anticipated from yesterday. When I was training people, I preached listening to your body and that is what I will continue with as well. I did run slightly over today, as the video I was watching was 35 minutes (and I forgot to set the bike timer). This was a 3 camera angle jobby, two of those angles I hated entirely, so it was useful in terms of research, if I eventually get to the point where I can more realistically considering launching that sort of thing. 

One thing of note, which is a positive, for now, is that my stomach was quite growly. I have gone mostly back to the caloric loading I did pre-training before, in terms of overall caloric quantity, and I'm sailing through that well before these sessions, which makes a nice deficit. I usually get to a shake afterwards, once I type these up, which is seeming to work very well. So, breakfast is either yogurt/high fiber cereal OR raw honey/PB English muffin on go days. Off days, it depends on what is available, but usually one of those. Lunch, even on off days, is a protein shake. On go days, it is just concentrate, on off days, until I run out, it's half and half concentrate and casein. Mid-afternoon snack is usually apple with PB. Dinner is the one area where I can get in a bit of trouble, so that is the one I need to narrow in a bit more, but I'm pleased overall with the progress.
