18/6/2013 - Day 9

Type: Interval Run
HR Zone: >75% to 90% (160 up to 185)
Schedule: 15 min Easy/3 mins hard, 2 mins easy, repeat 5 times/15 min Easy
Actual: 20 km on exercise bike @ 130-150 bpm

Jumped on the bike again today.  After 5 km at 130 bpm (which is the equivalent of 75% max HR while running) I did 1 km on a higher resistance setting and at a higher pulse (approx 150 bpm).  Then 4 km back at easy, another 1 km at the higher resistance and then 9km at easy.
Good workout and hopefully it is still contributing to my aerobic endurance even if my legs aren't getting the miles in them.  I figure this is better than nothing.
Leg felt good so I will take tomorrow as a running rest day (probably do an upper body workout) and then re-adjust this weeks schedule and see if I can salvage the week!
