I did my first sufferfest video

[katinthehat]

And hooooooooley goodness, was it really a suffer fest.

It was the most fun I've ever had trying not to puke in my life though.

Certainly made that hour on the trainer go by very quickly! I wish they made videos like that for running on the treadmill.

I've heard that they are great. I plan to get some later this year for winter trainer sessions.

they are awesome. The one I did was called The Descending Spiral and it's a set of descending intervals done twice

2 on / 2 off
1:45 on / 1:45 off
1:30 / 1:30
1:00 / 1:00
:45 / :45
:30 / :30

repeat.

On Monday, I did my longest ride ever 15 miles out on my normal road loop and it took 1:03:40ish.

Then yesterday, I did the video and rode 15.5 in an hour flat. So it pretty much took my ass and kicked it from here to next week.

I'll have to check one out when the weather starts to get nasty here.

Kat, I've been wondering how you're feeling on your bike after your killer race? I'm 10 days away from mine and just finally getting to the place where I don't want to cry on a ride

I love sufferfest!!!

Thanks for the review/info. I finally got my trainer last week so I will have to check these out!

I have Downward Spiral and Fight Club. I like them both.

Hubs says I'm not ready for Fight Club yet. That one actually made him puke, lol.

I think we have all but two of them; Josh wants some jersey you can only get if you have all the videos.

I've been feeling good. My comfort level has stayed pretty high with the bike, a good carry over from the race high! Hubs said it's time for me to just stop riding my bike and start doing some intervals and following a bit more of a training plan than just "ride," so I guess that's good?

I just need to get a new saddle as my lady bits do not like the suffering.
