CompuTrainer Class: Maximizing Aerobic Capacity VII

Today's class was very hard, especially from 1:22 through 1:30 (basically the final 8 minutes of the last effort). But Will told me last week that I couldn't complain about a workout being too easy (which was basically the entire "Aerobic Capacity" session) and then complain about the same (or pretty similar) workouts being too hard. So I decided to tough it out, hard and all. By 1:22 I was struggling to keep my cadence at or above 90, but I was keeping it there. If I'd have gotten to the point where I couldn't get it back up, I'd have gotten off. But since I'd made it that far, I was committed and staying on to finish!


^^This is basically what the ride looked like, and this is how it went vv.

My plan is to train later and perhaps hit the step mill, but we'll see how my legs cooperate. Tomorrow is a rest day, though, so I might decide to work hard.
