Recent workouts
I've actually managed to get in a few workouts last week and this week. Last week was basically entirely in the gym (not even much bike commuting), but I got in three quick max strength workouts.
This week has been better.
Workout: Tuesday
Time: 1:20
Weather: 40s! and sunny
Type: Fixed-gear
Comments: High endurance pace, often in the 160s, out around Mystic Valley and Horn Pond, Burlington to Lexington Center and then down Mass Ave. Fun, good pace.
Other:
Workout: Wednesday
Time: 1:10
Weather: cooler
Type: Gym, max strength
Comments: Good workout. Did a normal circuit of prep (30 reps each squats, row, leg curl, bench press, 60 each back extension and crunch) and then four sets of max strength, six reps each: squats at 360, row at 120, back at 292.5, bench press at 105. Then three more sets of crunches and leg curl/heel extension. Up to 110 lbs. on crunch, which is good.
Other:
Workout: Thursday
Time: 1:10
Weather: mid 30s, sunny
Type: Fixed-gear
Comments: A little more mellow today, took the long slog up Mass Ave to Lexington and then back through Belmont. I need to work on my spin, even on the fixed-gear I feel like my pedal stroke isn't very smooth. It's probably time to start doing more spinups, or maybe I should break down and buy rollers...
Other:
Hopefully another gym workout tomorrow and Sunday and a ride on Saturday. That'd be a good week. Let's see if I can manage it. =)
