High Intensity Training Day = STAIRS!


Today Kristi and I rode to a great location to work on run up/stair work outs. Right outside of downtown Arlington there is a set of stairs that weaves through the maple trees up the bank to a housing development. To say the least, the staircase is crazy steep and has several different rhythm and pitch changes. Kristi had found these stairs a few weeks ago and even found a full loop leading back down to the base that took around 5-6 minutes. Just enough to recover and hurt some more.

We did a total of 5 sets and running pace and would finish each one with a quick remount back on the bike and put in a hard effort going up a fairly steep road for roughly 2 blocks. Can you say Max Heart rate? We split up and focused on our workout and got it done, and then went back for pics. A good 30 minute warm up ride from home and 30 minutes worth of stairs and then a nice 30 minute rainy, windy (sideways) through the farmlands back to our house.


Tuesday done - Check!
