CompuTrainer Class: Maximizing Aerobic Capacity VI

Today's class went so much better than Tuesday's. I wasn't wearing my HRM so I don't have hard evidence, but I stayed on the bike the entire 93-minute workout, so that is a huge improvement over Tuesday.

^{^^}This is what the ride looked like, and this is what it felt like _vv.

I just tried to not think about it being hard. I also tried to look at the HR of a couple guys who were riding with me and pretend that was my HR. Plus Will pretty much told me to stay on the bike regardless—he said it's OK to get off sometimes if I really have to, but I shouldn't have the same result every time every time I feel like I'm riding or running awful. Also, some races might be hard, and I'd have to keep riding then!
