This morning’s Shred was early (before 6) so I could get a ride in later (30 miles). It was super hard, and I didn’t feel like I was pushing myself as much as I could have. It wasn’t like I was phoning it in, but it was just kind of blah.
Maybe I was thinking ahead, saving energy for the ride. Or maybe if I did ALL my Shred in the morning first thing I’d get used to it. I might try it for a few days to see if it gets better. It sure was nice to get it OUT OF THE WAY. :)
When do you do your Shred? Is it the ideal time, or are you squeezing it in when you can?
I definitely prefer to get it out of the way in the morning, but it’s not always possible working full-time with two young kids (and a husband who likes to fit in a mountain bike ride first thing before it gets too hot). I actually don’t find doing it at night to be too bad, but I pretty much have to get it done before 9:30 PM, or I just can’t find the motivation.
