Feel the burn
After a good easy spin yesterday I headed out today in search of a little leg burning fun. The plan was to do lactic criss-cross intervals. I set the alarms on my HR monitor to 8 beats below my lactic threshold and 5 above. I then slowly alternated between the upper and lower limits at 2 minute intervals.....two minutes to steadily go from the bottom to top, then two minutes steadily back down to the lower limit...then right back up. I headed up north of town to the Poudre canyon and did a few sets of 5 each. Heart rate lags behind effort a bit so you have to keep the exertion steady and not peak which would lead to a delayed jump in HR. Overall, it's one of my favorite types of intervals because it forces you to keep your effort hard and steady. Afterwards, I cruised back to town and around the reservoir just because the weather was so nice....gotta love it here!!
