Good Workouts Yesterday

Tuesday was a good day.  I started my morning out around 5am with an hour of spin class.  Spin class is all power/force so that fit well into Tuesday's workout needs.  Later that night, I did CTS (Chris Carmichael Training Systems) Relentless Attack workout.  This was done on my road bike on a trainer in my garage.  Although this workout drops me to my knees, I still love it.  It focuses on power so HR is not important.  Below is the workout, I challenge you to try it:

10 minute warm-up
Stomps: 20 seconds (90 rpm at high intensity)
Recovery: 2 minutes (90 rpm, low intensity)
Stomps: 20 seconds
Recovery: 2 minutes

Recovery: 30 seconds
[repeat the 30 second power interval/recovery 2 more times]
Power Interval: 1 minute
Recovery: 1 minute
[repeat the 1 minute power interval/recovery 2 more times]
Power Interval: 2 minutes
Recover: 5 minutes
Power Interval: 2 minutes
Recovery: 2 minutes

Last Recovery is for 5 minutes
