Notes

It was cold in the garage again...it must be winter! Overall, I wanted to categorize this as something other than 'Easy'. I logged it as 'Tempo'. I wanted to get in a solid 8 miles, but I wanted to do them while averaging closer to 18mph, so I will take this.

The cadence average was 85. I was in a higher gear, so I will likely not reach 90 or more like before. I can't wait to see what it falls to when I am actually outside on the road...probably upper 60's or 70's...All in all, I'll take this for a Friday morning ride, I was happy that my HR never really jumped despite the extra effort.

Nice work, Joe! I just looked through your bike workouts, and this is your best speed to HR ratio yet. You are definitely getting fitter! For example, on 1/20 you averaged 17 mph for 6 miles with an average HR of 159! Keep up the great work. Your dedication is already paying off :)

The data don't lie - you are shaping up my friend! It's bound to happen with the kind of commitment you're showing, between biking and running, I'm so impressed man. Keep up the good work despite being forced out to Middle of Nowhere, PA occasionally.
