@wendsg Oh I can only imagine! I tried the bike on the ship in Galapagos and I gave up after 2 miles because is was terrible. But I wasn't trying to finish a challenge! Ugh! I tried the treadmill too and I ran for 30 minutes before I figured out it was reading in KM per hour not MPH. I thought I'd gotten super fit or the tread was just broken!
Did a hard Peloton ride yesterday as part of my 6 week program. My zones from my earlier test are plenty hard enough. I mostly focus on running so I tend to do pretty easy rides. This had 3 intervals with a total of 18 minutes in zone 4. The whole 20 minute test was supposed to average at your zone 4 so it was challenging, but doable.

I can't imagine being on a spin bike or a treadmill at sea.2 -
@Mari33a It's not so bad when your ship is an aircraft carrier. No Zwifting out there, though - can only do that while in port so there's cell reception lmfao There's no app that'll hijack the satellite connection to permit cell data usage in the middle of an ocean! Foo.
Forgot to log yesterday's ride, so catching that with today's. More Tour of Watopia short rides because there's not enough hours in the day.

Did an easy Power Zone Endurance class as part of this 6 week challenge. Next weeks classes look Okay, too, but the following week includes a 60 power zone class. Never have done one and a bit afraid, but I'll do my best. I'll be back in Houston at sea level so that should help- if I can fit in with my long weekend trip to Chicago to see my son. Also, this will be 12 weeks out from my marathon so my running will really ramp up.

@SavageMrsMoose Didn’t realise you are doing a marathon. I am envious & in awe of people who run them because of the amount of training & commitment they take. I run regularly but only 3.5 miles.2 -

Pardon me while I melt in a corner over here. Last day doing Tour of Watopia stage 2 before tomorrow's commencement of the climbing stages. Decided to get stuck in with a group and hang there no matter what.
OMFG, this group was holding 3.2-4.0 w/kg the ENTIRE TIME. Fastest group I've stuck with yet. Put into perspective how much pleasure riding I've been doing for the last couple of weeks, because holy cats, I am dead. Needless to say, no makeup rides today - those'll wait for later this week. I'm going to go sweat buckets in the shower now.

We have a storm forecast so I expect to get a more rides than running for the rest of the week.1 -
@Mari33a I ran my first one almost 30 years ago. I probably signed up 3 times before I actually did it. I ran the Boston Marathon 2 years ago for charity and said that would be my last, but I’m doing Houston in January. They are kind of addictive. If I have a good race and things go perfectly, I have a shot at qualifying to run Boston in 2025.

@SavageMrsMoose I wish you all the best qualifying!! I'm sure you'll do great.
Forgot to log yesterday. Also didn't have much of a chance today to do the 2 makeup rides I have from the weekend getting away from me due to an internet outage taking away my Zwifting capabilities for a few hours. Boo! (Did get in a real short ride outside, though - discovered I have one loose spoke on my rear wheel on my vintage race bike which is giving me an unsatisfactory ride. Got that fixed this evening.)

Got in the daily ride plus a makeup ride today! Am being silly in Zwift, but sometimes it's the best way to ride. Silliness makes it more fun.

Hello everyone!
Got in a little more Peloton... Was feeling really tired the last few days but managed to pull of all the intervals in the class plan and was happy about that! Marathon training will really kick in starting next week, so it will probably be mostly easy miles.
