Thanks for your help TheEd,
Today, I did a light 30min jog, av pace 6:14/km, HR 139, 5.0km.
After that I tried another spin session. This time I tried single leg spinning - epic, epic fail. It is not even close to smooth, I'm bouncing all over the place. Is the best way to get better at spinning just doing single leg over and over? I did 5min each leg, 3 times through. I managed to hold roughly 90 RPM. Each time I switched legs I noticed my hamstrings were quite useless. Not tired or sore, I just couldn't lift my heel up like I normally can.
I am thinking of doing these single leg spin sessions every day for a few weeks until they get easier and I can smoothly sit around 100-110RPM.
Thoughts?
Oh and I was thinking of doing the 10x400m tomorrow as I am helping to get friends faster in their 2.4km race time and we're heading for the treadmills.
