Criss Cross Progression

Did third criss-cross of 2015 yesterday and showed some nice progression

Cut the rest interval and extended the work ones, especially the last so that it took just over 60 minutes. For focus I concentrated on the calves, really pushing through to the bottom of the stroke and "scraping the mud off the cleats". I expected at some point they would burn but didn't even on the overs, upper leg gave the biggest pain. Will push them even harder next time.


Comparing to first one

Latest session
Interval Time  9:25 (last 13:15)
Interval Power 283W/328W avg 300W
Hour stats: 279W/290NW HR avg 152bpm HR peak 161bpm

First session
Interval time 9:11
Interval power 280W/325W avg 294W
Hour stats 259W/278NW HR avg 152bpm HR peak 168bpm

So power up and HR down, latter reflected in fact that latest session felt easiest yet. Average power for the workout was enough for a sub 60 minute ascent of Alpe D'Huez.
