Spin Class Observations
Yesterday I did spin class - actually it’s the first time I’ve done spin class this year. All my other cycling has been on an exercise bike. I have two quick observations about the experience.
First - Spin class is soooo much more fun than an exercise bike. You have music, other people suffering along side you, a not so hard to look at trainer yelling at you. What’s not to like? It also is a great interval workout. I always get my heart rate up in the high 80 percentile at a minimum, but usually I get over 90% when I spin.
Second - I have heard (from a sub 4 minute miler), that he knows he’s fit when he can go out and run a five mile tempo run at a fast pace, rest for 10 minutes, then feel like he could go out and do it again. That was my experience of spin class. For the first time EVER in a spin class - 10 minutes after the class I felt like I could do it again. I think this is a combination of exercising daily and the running I’ve been doing. And I’ve only run four times so far…
I count the hour spin class as 20 miles. I now have 35 more miles before month end to hit 300. I going to make it!
