The team that suffers together…

…WINS together. 

Nice work to J-Lo and BigBirdie-man who both came to the Train’s basement for some suffering.

Joe put in some nice efforts but as he was nursing legs that had taken a beating from 3+ hours of ice hockey last night, no destructive efforts were called for but 90′ of work aint no joke.  Good work, Joe!   

BB and I were in for a bit more intensity in durration.  

Matty did a brutal WO, in my mind: 3×30′s (yes folks, 90 minutes of solid work). An average HR in ther high 160′s means hard work was done.  Chapeau!

I had a new workout designed for today and it was tough but GREAT.  it went as such:

warmup

20′ @ tempo (283W, 84% of LTHR)

3′ Recovery

12′@ sub LT (344W, HR 5 beats below LTHR)

3′ recovery

20′@ tempo (same stats)

3′ recovery

12′@ sub LT (337W, same HR)

3′ recovery

20′@ tempo (HR starting to drift now)

3′ Recovery

12′@ sub LT (335W, HR just finally creeping above LT as I pushed the interval hard in the last 5′)  (huge power numbers with 90′ of hard work already in the bank and PE wasnt bad at all… this is the type of endurance I want!) 

10′ cooldown.

Breakthough WO for me.  Thanks Gents for making it happen… I really appreciate the support and company.  

Nice work Joe and Matt.  A pleasure to suffer with you now… and win with you this spring!!

 

This is BASE.  This is the most important time of the season, period.  If you aint building that base up deep and wide, get to work!!  

Keep killin it, Threshold!!

 

oh, just renewed my license with USAC, word.

BKR, we’re gettin’ ready for you…
