30min Max Cal on Assault Bike
Really stoked to hit a PR on this! These endurance tests are one of my least favorites. Continuous and boring work. My struggle is staying focused the whole duration. My goal this time was to maintain mental acuity. Goal was to maintain 14cals/min. I front loaded the first 10min to give me some cushion if I fell off pace. Instead of holding a linear pace, I turned it into a 30sec interval to turn it into a game. Stuck to my plan and it ended up working smoothly, 421cals. Still think I can do better. There is some hold back with these nagging injuries.

Is there a specific warm up you would recommend before these running training pieces?

Body was feeling good on this. Stayed well under pace each set. Breathing mechanics were dialed in today. Really think that the elevation/ventilation mask has been helping develop better breathing mechanics through diaphragm.
