You are an animal Fritz. Your workout today made me dizzy.:) Nice work.

Why the wean?

Specificity of training = the principle of training that states that sports training should be relevant and appropriate to the sport for which the individual is training in order to produce a training effect.

I think spin is very beneficial for building a bigger aerobic capacity and for building quad strength primarily. But it has to be done in addition to running, not instead of running. So I guess if I want to get in lots of miles of running on Tuesdays AND do the spin class I will just have to suck it up.
