A good ride on the trainer (if one is even possible)

I felt pretty good on the trainer today and since I feel that I haven't been going hard enough lately I tried to kill the workout today, even though I had a hard day yesterday.

Bike 1:10 on trainer
WU 20 min including 6X30 sec hard
4X10 min hard (~215 watts) with 2 min easy rests
~4 min cool down

I went fairly hard on the first interval and was able to match or exceed it with the following 3. Normally I start off too easy and have a lot left at the end but not today.

Run on Hines drive, the water has receded a little bit and I was able to run past Wayne Rd for my normal 5.1 mile route. I under dressed for this run and was a bit cold the whole way. It wasn't as warm as yesterday, about 29 deg F.

Run 5.1 miles in 42:53
Just some more junk miles to get my "Thirty by Thursday." I had to eat a gel about half way out and walk it off cuz I was running on fumes and felt a bonk comming.

Sunday

Ride long on trainer
2:30 41.8 miles on pure torture on the bike trainer. Thank god I have 3 seasons of Robot Chicken to watch while riding :P
I didn't want to ride an even effort so I broke it up like this:
30 min warm up
2X10 min as 3 min hard fast cadence, 3 min next gear up, 1 min 1 gear up, 1 min standing, 2 min easy.
10 min moderate ~ 70%
Repeat 2 more times
Finish last 20 min in zone 3

Run on the track at the Rec center cuz it was raining cats and dogs outside
30 min 3.7 miles

Tuesday - Reworked schedule

Run on Hines drive cuz it was allmost 40F (~5C) and I don't really like running on the indoor track as much as running outside.

MS 3X12 min hard with 3 min rests
Cool down to finish out time
Fairly hard intervals, I need to get more time on the bike. I would like to be consistantly over 5 hours for the next few weeks.
