Workout: Cardio
Equipment Used: Schwinn AirDyne
Duration: ~9.5mi/~45min
Driver: Gamma Ray: Heading For Tomorrow
Calories: ???
Quality Level: N/A
Observations/Intel: I knew going in that today would be a struggle, so I went into this with more of an "anything goes" mindset towards distance, but as I got into things, it was less of one than I thought. Warm-up took forever, but it occurred to me that I could hit double digit distance (this is evidently my newest goal obsession) today with a higher cadence rather than waiting until the next time I do sprints. Realistically, it will probably not be then, either, depending on when the next sprint is, as I have an actual work function to attend to on this coming Tuesday. Anyway, I ran at the lowest sprint level and held cadence there for a bit, so basically 3 mini-sprints, but that blew what little gas was left in the tank and it was just not enough to make up for the extended warm-up period. I probably would have not quite reached 9 miles today were it not for those, though.
Legs were ok, considering this is the third consecutive extended workout in a row. Air was also solid, but, again, not really to where I can really push it just yet. I think I'm hitting the place I wanted to, though, as summer comes on, in terms of being ready to take advantage of the higher temperatures in relation to unfattening. I really want to go back to the gym, though...both to hit the weights, but also to change it up with some stairmill time on the Cardio side. If I can make it happen by this full, no question I will be fully motivated.
