A special Wednesday edition of the Operation 204 saga. I think this may become a regular occurrence, so be prepared.
Today was cardio day. I wasn't sure that I was going to be able to after the leg workout yesterday, but I felt good after work so I decided to make the elliptical machine my bitch. I did.
I was able to get to my target heart rate within the first 6 minutes and then maintained that for the next 39 to total 45. The 5 minute cool down saw my heart rate drop to about 130 so the recovery is a bit slow. That will change as I go. My average heart rate for the entire 50 minutes was 150 which is just below my target of 154. Considering the warm up and cool down, I was able to be at 154 or higher for the entire 45 minutes.
I was able to get through this one fairly easy compared to last week. Amazing how cardio stays with you for a bit and allows the body to get to that level quicker. I will look at bumping my target heart rate to 80% of max next week. I hope to get one more cardio day in this week - possibly Friday.
Short update as I really didn't do anything else. See you tomorrow.
