Q bike + Plyo = TIRED!

BIKE: just over an hour and 18 miles, 2x15 shooting for 20mph
STRENGTH: about 45 mins of PlyoX
COMMUTE: 6 miles

Oh My Goodness. Even though I took my BCAA supps this morning I'm still feeling that dragging, underwater, heavy feeling after this morning's workout. More protein? Or this is normal for back-to-back Q days?

As much as it sucks to ride indoors, that's about the only way to get in a workout like this. Where in town can I do 15 minutes uninterrupted? I could drive out of town to the MCT, that's about it. Maybe on days when I don't have anything else going on (hahahahahaha let me know when that day is here!) I could drive out to the trails or open road. Until then, and as I've done for the past couple of years, I'm doing my Quality rides on the trainer.

I struggled to stay focused, particularly on the 2nd 15 minutes. As I have been for the past few weeks, I'm surprised that I can't get up to speed like I expect to. Some of my struggle was just to keep the speed at or above 20 mph. That doesn't seem like it should be that hard for me. But I'm just getting started. Ask me again in a few weeks.

I'm seeing the benefits of the plyos--climbing stairs, reaching for something on my toes, getting up off the floor--all feeling stronger and more flexy. I love this DVD and maybe I can find more to keep me entertained over the summer. Doing this same one over and over all summer long....boring! But I can't get too bored yet, the workout leaves me drained. When I can finish that workout and beg for me, then I'll go shopping.
