iCYCLE 21 - Intervals

30 minutes

Yay! Some new iTRAINS - focusing on interval work this month... my favourite kind of workout.

The cycling workout with Keith has around 8 - 9 minutes of easy warm up - but keep some energy for the intervals. The first intervals are high speed sprints, first on easy resistance, then on a level 6. They are 30s - 2 minutes long with enough recovery time.

Then there is around a 6 minute "jog" at level 4. However, I felt the tempo was very fast to keep this up for the full duration. Especially with what is coming next...!

The last interval is 3 minutes non-stop a top speed - what a killer way to end the workout. Then it's easy for the cycle home and cool down.

This is a very fast workout, and flew by very fast. It was also very good for my injured foot - it actually feels a bit better afterwards, maybe for all the blood being pumped through my legs!

I used the Cardio Coach 3 stretches.
