This week has been a little intense because in addition to the bike rides I had other workouts on my evening schedule, but to my surprise I could take it well so far. I intended to do this interval workout next Monday, but I did it today to recover a little and give myself some more time to think about a new route to try next. This workout is longer than others, but relatively easy progressing from 4×5, 4×4, 4×3 to 4×2 minute intervals with decreasing resistance and increasing cadence. The only thing that bothered me was the humidity. It didn’t take long and my t-shirt was wet as if I had taken a shower, not to mention the bike and the puddle of sweat underneath it. I think it may be time to turn on some fans and the dehumidifier.
