Athelite Spin Classes, Aurora. IT IS FUN!!!

After having swam and run yesterday we had to finish off the day with one of our Athelite Mid-Week Spin Classes. Last night was great fun!! You can make these as easy or as hard as you like so obviously I chose to make it TOUGH.

Tuesday nights are a speed work night so after 15 mins warm up we did some high cadence work followed by the main set of intervals ranging from sub threshold up to super threshold & V02 Max efforts. I laid it all out there only to find there was a second set of the same so that hurt!! We finished off as always with some rapid fire tabata work and single leg drills. An awesome session with some great motivational 'direction' from Genevieve and Paolina up the front.

I was totally done in afterwards and almost fell asleep in my dinner but after a night in compression tights I was relieved to find that my legs had recovered well and we ran to the pool and back again.

It was SO cold out there today - minus 8, but who knows what it was with the wind chill. I have never run with 2 thermal hats on before and still had an Ice Cream Brain Freeze Headache!!

Thursday nights spin sessions are more gearing & strength focused and this Thursday will include a Lactate Threshold Test. Come along and give it a try!!
