I decided to do Tough Love this morning, since it's still a bit icy outside. Haven't done this one since last winter. What a killer--I forgot about all the STANDING segments. My legs are fried and I anticipate having to take a nap this afternoon.

Can you tell me what the Tough Love workout is?
Good morning VeloB! I am wondering what the Tough Love workout is - can you describe it? Thanks!, Tokie PS it's not raining this morning, and I'm riding up Casitas Pass to watch the Tour of California zoom by this morning, it's my local climb for hill repeats.

Hey Tokie -
Tough Love is a Spinervals workout, in which Evil Coach Troy (ECT for short) walks around with a little smirk on his face barking out orders to the people doing the workout.
Don't get me wrong, it's good stuff, we just like to pick on Troy.
Here's a description of Tough Love from the Spinervals website.
I don't own that one so I can't get any more specific than that.

The toughest part is watching the timer when you're exhausted and still have 2.5 hours left...
I did this one a few times this winter. Hated it each and every time!For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.
