First Duathlon Workout April 11

Run, bike, run...throw in a swim and it's the story of my life these days :P Pretty excited to see how my legs will respond to this workout.

Aerobic Duathlon Brick
Base Run of 20minutes, hop on bike and ride 20mins @ strong effort, and then ride 50min @aerobic for total of 1hr10min ride. Off bike run 30mins including 4x1minute pickups @ hard effort with 1minute easy.

Base run I treated as a warm up basically but done strong. Bike was incredibly hard. Muscles adjust much better bike to run than run to bike. Felt a bit woozy on the 20 minute hard effort and had trouble maintaining a solid pace til about 10 minutes into the ride. Using gels pretty regularly now and they don't seem to have a negative affect on my belly :) Felt good off the bike. 10 minutes good effort and then pickups. I did them as alternating laps on the track (7 laps to the mile) so recovery was a bit longer but they were great and stayed on pace through them all.
