wk6 Saturday Brick sessions

Glad this was another turbo based session as it was throwing it down. Glad I wasn't out on the bike in it, though did have to venture out on a couple of runs in it.
Session involved:
20 minute warm up on the turbo.
20 minutes hard on the turbo at a pace sustainable for 30-35minutes. Was hoping to do 260watts, but it proved hard to maintain 250watts. In fact it was hard to maintain a cadence of 90bpm (cadence is the rate that the legs are turning over at). Guess the turbo thursday was too hard and I hadn't flushed it out on the friday - active recovery can be better than rest.
After the hard bike I then had to go out for a 2mile run at faster than 7mpm pace.
10minute recovery back on the turbo
20 minutes hard on the turbo for a second time
2 mile run at 7mpm for a second time
Then a 20-30minute recovery ride on the bike. Schedule said to do this out on the road. I opted for the turbo.
