My lunch menu today, intervals & hills on the road bike, 40.2 miles & 1720 ft climbed in 2:24;
● alternated between steady zone 2-4 effort on flats and hills with some sprints & recovery thrown in here and there over the session (zone 5)....avg heartrate was 128, max was 167 bpm...about 12 shy of my peak.
● lots of crosswind and headwind today, 16 mph out of SSE, so only downwind portion I had was pointing the bike north...about 15% of the ride mileage.
● this ride day followed a 35 mile Mountain bike ride yesterday....legs were a bit weaker and sore.
However, I have developed a tolerance, maybe even fondness for hill climbing...very wierd.

Good job Steven. I'm a little crazy too (run/walk intervals in 90 degree weather.) Hey, congrats on your new addition to your family.

Oh ya, just a FYI, the weekly mileage may seem like a lot but it is pretty standard for most bikers looking to improve endurance and/or performance. Note; these training sessions are not for fat loss (though that is a welcome side benefit), the goal is to ride farther and faster without suffering too much.
