I didn't realize how bad I was until I rode to the Spinervals Suffer-O-Rama DVD last night! At one point I thought I was
going to vomit! That's what I get for going soft and lazy towards the end of the season and then taking a little vacation from the bike for the first part of October. The vacation did me well in the fact that I feel that I have some focus and drive again! I'm not sure how long that is going to last, but being optimisitic I hope it will carry through the winter.
As for the trainer "party" last night it was lonely.... no one wanted to suffer with me. So I started at 6 PM alone with Suffer-O-Rama. I forgot how much intensity there is with the combination of the Spinervals intervals and the Kurt Kinetic Trainer. The extra weight on the back ramps up the intensity dramatically. My legs were on fire after the first 5 minute interval!
By the half way point of the workout I had sweat rolling off of me as if I had been running through a sprinkler and my heart was way up! That's the "nice" thing about the Spinervals workouts, they warm you up fast and maintain a fairly high intesity through out. So, if you don't cheat yourself by not pushing you get a really good hard workout.
The next trainer "party" I have planned is at 6:00 PM on Thursday. After that I am planning on doing them every Tuesday and Thursday night at 6:00 PM.
