Spinning Workout 28 - Endurance



Ha! Finally!

This workout is all about endurance. I tried to write it as a base-building workout with a little intensity. There are easy spinning sections, hard time trials, seated climbs, and standing climbs. There are also some overspeed sections to force you to turn a fast cadence (almost 140 RPM); if you want, you could also try those sections as one-legged drills, switching legs every minute. The main thing is to get some cadence/drill work into the base building period.

Try to keep everything in high zone 2/low zone 3. Probably won't make it the first time, but I hope that as you get more and more fit this workout will keep you right in the sweet spot of base building intensity. Or you can just go balls to the wall the whole time, just like you might in an actual spinning class.

We woke up to 14" of the white stuff on the ground today in NJ. I was wondering how I was going to makeup the spinning class I missed on Friday so I searched online for "spinning podcast" and your great site popped up. I just finished your most recent ride and it was just great. Thank you so much for giving of your time and yourself so freely. Now I have an excuse to dust off the bike and get moving at home!

Hi, I love your workouts, I do them all the time when I'm away and I can't catch my spinning class.

Some of the songs are not what I would choose, but they work anyway.
Your instructions help a lot, they keep me motivated.
Hope you make some new workouts soon!

Hi Jamie:
Any chance you could list the artists in Workouts 26 and 21?
Couldn't download the list as an mp3 so went to itunes. Not sure which artists/tracks you used.

Love your playlists-they keep me energized.
Happy 2011!

This is great! I did spinning a few times and loved it but couldn't keep with the class schedule. Lately my kids and I were looking for a way to workout together and decided to readdress the spinning! Unfortunately our schedules wouldn't line up again with the instructor! I decided to check for something online to at least get us going and found your site! Can't wait to use your latest (endurance) one. I'm actually starting to train for a mini-tri this summer and a half-marathon at the end of the year! Thanks Jaime for the podcasts! I'll let you know how I do!

Thanks a lot for this. Was really a great workout when I couldn't get to a spin class. I would never push myself that hard without you pushing me!
