Instead, I decided to try two back-to-back spin classes at the gym. They were both 45 minutes and I hoped I could ride the warm up longer before the classes started so I could make up the time.
The parking garage computers were down and so collecting my car took a lot longer than I had planned but thankfully I made it in time. The first spin class was perfect because it was interval training. I was supposed to start with 20 minutes of zone 1, 10 minutes of zone two and then go between high and low zone three every four minutes with opposite cadence. I didn't really do 4 minute sets but was able to go between high and low 3. I kept pedaling when the class emptied out and a few of us stayed for the second class.
This second class didn't go as well as far as zones go since it was basically a slow uphill climb. On the positive side, I really need to work on uphold and so I spent a lot of the class fatiguing my quads standing in the climb. My heart rate zones were lower but I think it was good climbing work. I was happy to get in the full three hours on Wednesday.
