Trainer ride

Here's a nice trainer workout: Warm up for 15 minutes. Ride at HIM pace or slightly harder for 2 minutes (I tried to ride near 260 W), then ride easy for 1 minute. Repeat that 3 minute cycle twenty times. Cool down for 15 minutes.

My HR would get fairly high, well into the 160s. Still, time goes by pretty quickly since the focus is on completing each 2 minute effort and then enjoying the 1 minute breaks.



I'll play around with the ratio a bit in the future, gradually extending the time spent working (maybe 3 min to 1.5 min easy next time).
