Then I did the Harpeth Club bike ride, which was a 22.82-mile route from Cool Springs that took 1:10. We averaged 19.4 MPH; it was a fabulous ride. After a quick transition (that was longer than I was hoping for it to be because people were around talking), I headed out for a 30-minute run. It was 3.5 miles, with the 5K at 26:19 (I walked for a minute after the first mile) and then a slower last couple minutes to cool down. It didn’t feel particularly fast, but I guess without the minute walk it was just about 8-minute miles. For it not being a race, that’s a fairly decent pace for me but it should be faster.
- Wall squat
- Glute ham
- Lunge
- Push up
- Curl
- Crate crunch
- I can’t seem to turn the pedals quickly enough. I think my cadence is around 90 RPM, but I was way behind Chris all weekend and today I felt like I just couldn’t keep up with the group no matter what gear I was in.
- I’m thinking that if Will keeps telling me to do the reps quickly and I actually listen and do so, that might help.
- Doing the weekly group ride will definitely help push me to move my legs faster.
- Practicing this while on the trainer (if it rains) will be helpful.
- I definitely run tense. And hunched over. Will keeps telling me to keep my shoulders down, and today I could really feel that I had my shoulders up. I kept trying to put them down like he makes me when we’re doing the curl exercise, but then I would inevitably find them up again.
- Hopefully I can really focus on the way this feels while doing the curl and translate that feeling to the road.
- I’ll have to ask Will to keep telling me to do it right so that I can feel what “right” feels like.
