Out for a spin - Part 1
Like Stybar yesterday, I was having a pretty bad day. I could feel my calves becoming stiff after my lovely 10km of running on Saturday so my ambition for tonight was a good old 'återhämtningspass'. I tried RPM which is supposed to be based on intervals and like most spinning passes you can make it as tough as you want. I could feel the benefits of cross right away because this 50 min flew by.
The interval parts or 'utmaningar' if you want were songs 3, 5 and 7. And, no, Song 2 was not our favourite from Blur. =) For the first utmaning we were supposed to choose motstånd 'lite jobbig' which is useless so I chose to go at twice the pace of the music instead. The song 5 intervals were a confused mix of sitting and standing 60/30/15 or something but I decided for a motstånd of 'skitjobbig'. By the time I had things figured out, song 5 was over and it was another slow crappy återhämntning song. Blä. Song 7 was a lovely expression of my growing leg strength but after a very short bit of pain, that was it...no more fun for me...cool down and boring stretches.
So what can I say? Good pass after a weekend of hard training but I need more than this. Wednesday and Thursday at MCK seems to be the best choice.
