Thursday Spin Doctor

Today I got into the gym relatively early at 10am.

No need to aggravate my knee so I jumped on the stationary bike and cranked up my iPod ready to do some work while simultaneously doing some reading work.

I set the bike to manual program and jacked it up to level 9. I was easily over 100 rpms and averaged 20mphs with a few spikes to 27mph.

I quickly had to ditch my reading schedule as my cycling intensified. I switched between level 8 and 9 the entire ride and was really dripping sweat when I finished 8 miles in 23 minutes.

I stayed on another 7 minutes to cool off and talk with Chris who came and began riding the bike beside mine. After an even 30 minutes, I stretched and finished with a shoulder workout.

Business: Stationary bike for 8 miles in 23:00, stretch and finished with a shoulder workout.
Splits are as follows:
Mile  1 Ride: 3:00 (0:03:00), 143 max bpm
Mile  2 Ride: 2:30 (0:05:30), 179 max bpm
