Okay, I did the advanced Spinerval video this am - 45 minutes, "No Slackers Allowed."
It is designed to push you beyond your anabolic threshold at times. It is a real workout for me.
It involves high speed cadences, a simulated 5K race, lots of standing whiile pedaling, and gear ratios with resistance from Big and Small Chain Ring/23 - 12, and very short rest periods. It is rated at 99% of max effort.
Okay, so my stats:
Did it all, but put an extra 2 minute break in the middle, as I felt I needed it.
Max HR (I am 64 yo) of 148 which I reached numerous times.
Kept above about 112 most of the time.
I recovered from 148 to 107 after 60 seconds of rest. My passive HR is 60.
Good amount of sweat.
Reached and held cadences of 130+ for several sessions.
Feel great, not tired after the workout. This time was easier than the last.
Any thoughts? Reactions? I would appreciate any thoughts, reactions, suggestions - good workout, bad, improvements?
