Observations/Intel: Monday felt like I could go again, but Tuesday & Wednesday woke up both days feeling tired, which is usually a pretty strong signal to take some time off...today was a bit downcast also, but I suspect that's more due to a change in the weather. I got on anyway, as I wanted to see where things were and...then took a while to warm up.
Usually, my cadence is between 40 - 44 PRPM (pedal revolutions per minute) and a load hovering somewhere between 1 - 2. I should probably point out my machine is also not calibrated and is not at all remotely young, so, this may be somewhat off, but it is what I have to measure with currently. When I do sprints, I usually hit a point somewhere between the load marks and hold it (some of the time .25mi, some of the time .4mi). The highest sprint I have done in the earlier posts is with a load between 5 - 6, which is a cadence of somewhere around 60PRPM. So, today, starting with a brief warmer between 4 - 5, I went up to see how long I could hit and hold .25 mi sprints. I wound up making it between a load of 7 - 8 and PRPM of 70 before my Legs were gassed. Air, however, was fine and I'm thinking now that if I would have given myself more rest, I probably could have hit 8 - 9. 9 - 10 or 10+ is probably not realistic at this point, however. Still, goals to work toward...
Weigh-in yesterday was 255, which is -1 from the last weigh-in and which matches the lowest I've hit since re-re-re-starting this whole fitness journey thing...
