I am back in the Pisgah Stage Race prep mode. Coach had me do VO2 Max Intervals today. I like this work out because it is one hell of a sufferfest, but it is over pretty quickly, and you feel like you really accomplished something.
Here is how they went:
#1: This is not too bad. Hmmm, maybe I am a bit stronger. I feel like I could go all day at this wattage!
#2: Can I take back what I previously stated?
#3: Damn Coach for making me do those squats yesterday!
#4: Ohhhhh......the burn!
#5: I need a dog to start chasing me. Come on, legs, don't leave me now!
#6: Mama!
And now I get to go work for 10 hours, dodging pee and poop, smelling anal glands, listening to incessant barking, and trying to be quicker than the dogs' clamping jaws.
I think I would rather do some more suffering at the hand's of my Coach.
Your coach is also doing the same thing to me. 6X4 minute zone 5 hill repeats with 3 minutes of recovery. I will probably donate a lung to the canyon road. Somehow I feel best on the 3rd interval and then every one there after makes want to ride off the edge to make the pain go away.
