My cycling is getting stronger...

Tonight was an hour tempo ride on the bike, keeping my heart rate at around 139 bpm.

I can really tell my legs are getting stronger. To get up to that heart rate I had to tighten the resistance on the wind trainer and gear up on the bike, even more than my last ride.

Normally at 139 bpm, the workout is fairly easy. But I'm now starting to find that as my body is becoming more efficient, parts of the ride were actually a little painful. Not a lot, but a little.

I did have to push it to keep the heart rate at 139 bpm.
