Winter 2013 stationary cycling

[BeckaG]

I go do 40-60 minutes on my spin bike 3-4 times a week. I turn on a pandora workout station and keep pace with the songs, raising and lowering resistance to keep my heart rate and breath where I want it....resistance and speed always keeping my legs burning just a little. Most of my time sitting, some standing. A little 5 min warm up and cool down, followed by a 30 min power yoga dvd. This usually gets the job done, I'm happy and covered in sweat by the end.

I have been attending 3 times a week Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays to Performance bike in Greenwood for Free indoor group rides. And on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and sometimes Sundays I do easy indoor rides by myself. I am really enjoying these sesions and the best part: they are free!... I just gotta take my bike, the trainer , a towel and my water.

1hr indoor - These sessions are the reason I stay motivated. Otherwise at home I will be just looking from the distance at my trainer everyday.

Tuesdays : Hills Intervals. ( lots of climbing )
Thursdays: High Tempo with little simulated climbing
Saturdays: Combination of the first two

All these with general tips about clipping and unclipping, going down hill /climbing, braking, shifting etc etc. I really enjoy it and also appreciate the fact he is doing this for free just because he loves cycling and wants to share his knowledge.

The rest of the days I do easy 30-40 minutes indoor at home with maybe 2 hard 1minute duration climbs and a couple of fast spinnings for 2 minutes each or so and then the rest just at a fast but comfortable pace and resistance.

I will continue doing this until the weather gets warmer enough to start riding outside and commuting.

We don't have a trainer but do have Rollers. I can be balance challenged on the rollers so the DH bought me the fork stand and I have zero excuse for not riding indoors. In the process of setting it all up the other day, I manged to smack my knee on the top of the fork stand - talk about pain. I did manage to hobble onto my bike and had a productive 35 minute workout w/intervals but the next day I was certainly limping. Will climb back on today as it is still only 1 degrees outside Spring can't arrive soon enough

This week I ride mostly outside, so only one short trainer session on Thursday: 20 intervals, 30 sec each with 30 sec rest.

I've been doing the Sufferfest videos for a while here. Pair Sufferfest with TrainerRoad and you have virtual power with a prescribed workout! The Tour of Sufferlandria starts on 26 January. Anyone else participating?

I'm also trying to survive the Tour of Sufferlandria. Just completed Stage 4 about an hour ago.

I don't own all of the Sufferfest workouts yet, so no ToS here (maybe next year!). I did The Hunted last night, and my legs are well and thoroughly trashed!
