wishing i had some diverse content... nope... just me riding the bike into work... its a balmy 14°F out there this morning. Wind pretty mellow only around 6 mph.
Kept the cadence up around 100 pretty much the whole stretch on the bike path, except the hill. Did something different, kept the power closer to the 250 range or so heading up... it meant the cadence dropped down around 45-50... but its a change... go too hard everyday and that's not good.
Was thinking tho... ped'lin at 70 vs 100... 70=lower HR, less body heat generated, 100=higher HR more body heat...
more body heat means more "waste" energy? Or is it the same efficiency but at 70 rpm its easier for the body to thermally equilibrate?
That said, when i was at 80 it felt slow... nother couple weeks and i may just figure out how to efficiently spin these 180 cranks...
yeah... 180s... tall guys riding shorter cranks than that are sacrificing more than they realize... Yes... you can comfortably spin them at 100 rpm...
Well...
I really wanted to stop and get pictures of the Ice this morning. But no time... cutting it short... hopefully the coffee will finish brewing before students start showing up. Yeah... addicted to the pot of coffee... i did grab a Shift Energy Drink will give it a try heading into the marathon session this afternoon. And yogurt boy... get on those marketing web folks...
This Shift bottle has 4 grams of fat, and 2.5 grams of sat fat... sure only 35 fat calories out of 200... (5 grams of protien btw, 36 grams of carbs)... but...
fat free?
hardly...
12% juice ain't all that bad tho...
we'll see what its like...
peace my friends, peace be with you...
