Airdyne 45 minutes (aerobic restoration)
Notes: This was one of the most enjoyable workouts I've had in quite some time. It was a gorgeous day on Cape Cod, so we moved the Airdyne out of the basement and onto the back porch. I felt amazing being outdoors with the sun on my face and body. I held steady between 55-58 RPMs (monitor was a bit all over the place because of the wind outside) and actually allowed my heart rate to touch 155 toward the end of the piece. Spent a good deal of the piece in the 145+ range. While this is probably a little high for "aerobic restoration," I was okay with it because it felt so relaxed and was so enjoyable. There was no grinding at all. I wasn't expecting to get in a workout today, so it was a total bonus.
A freight train is strong, powerful, and steady across long distances. A freight train only goes "off the tracks" if it gets going at a pace faster than it can sustain. Bobby Scott Performance believes that a large volume of sub-maximal efforts paired with intelligently programmed bouts of intensity will develop a strong, powerful competitor with a huge aerobic base -- in other words, "an aerobic freight train."
