Tuesday Brick

Now that was fun! A half hour bike and then a one hour run. The fun part was riding for 30 minutes on the Computrainer with the real video going on the Lake Placid course. It's just way too much fun watching all the actual scenery go by. We've ridden the course many times so, so far, everything is very recognizable. I've got a 3 hour bike ride this weekend. I'm tempted to stretch that out to 3.5 and see if I can't get one loop of the course done! I've got a 29k run on Sunday which is going to take me about 3:15 I expect, so I'm not sure about adding on the extra 30 minutes to the bike. We'll see.

I drove over to the club and did my 60 minute run on the treadmill. I had opted for an extra half hour sleep this morning and skipped breakfast. Not a great idea. I was really tired on that run. The 15 minute warm up was OK. The next 13 minutes at low zone 3 was a struggle, the next 13 at mid zone 3 was really tough, and I had to take a couple of 30 second walking breaks for the last 14 minutes at high zone 3.

Is it possible that my heart rate stays a bit lower when I'm inside rather than running outside? I feel like I push a lot more inside to bring my heart rate up.
