Airdyne 45 minutes (aerobic restoration)
Notes: Odd heart rate data this morning. Shot up to ~140 within the first 10 minutes, but then leveled off until touching 149 toward the very end. When my aerobic system is sharp, I generally will stay sub-130 for the first 15 minutes, sub-140 for the middle 15 minutes, and then sub-150 for the final 15 minutes. Only fix for this is simply putting in the time. It takes patience and consistency. But, it's so worth it. I yearn to get back to that feeling of being aerobically powerful. With the amount of training volume coming, it'll be important to ensure that the aerobic system governs all of the training.
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."
Ben,
ReplyDeleteHigh heart rate is just due to illness. Takes a little time to get back to normal.
Cheers,
