Trainer work

I have been spending most of my workout time on the trainer this week.  

Tuesday was no problem... warmup, 35min Tempo, and cool down.  Easy!  A run and weights in the evening.  Done.

Wednesday, gets tougher. The schedule called for 3:30hrs.  I pushed through 3:00.  If it was to be an outside ride no problem, I have done plenty of those, but  I wasn't ready for that long on the trainer. So I got up early to get 1:30hr ride and did the rest in the evening.

Thursday, 5:30am spin class and some bonus time for an even hour.  Another 1:30hr was scheduled for the day.  Didn't know if I could do that.  I climbed back on the trainer thinking I would just take it easy.  If anything it would give me something to do other than sit on the couch thinking about food.  I was able to get up to a respectable cruising speed.  Nice high cadence and HR in the upper part of my Zone 1.  That is fat burning stuff for me.

I am suppose to do a Force ride today.  Hill work low cadence and effort up into Zone 4.  Going to the gym instead.  I will get the Zone 4 cardio running and squats/leg presses will do for Strength.

Looks like more trainer time this weekend with temps outside near zero.  I can't even think about it.. just trying to take one day at a time.
