Airdyne Pacing

Very simply workout today.   10 minutes max calories on the airdyne.   My strategy was to pick a pace that got me close the red line but didnt put me over. I was probably a little light on the first half but it allowed me to pick it up in the second half.  I was at 225-310 watts.  When I do it again I dont want to go below 265.   Total Calories 193.   After the WOD my coach told me the top guys do 300calories.  I would  be hard pressed to do that for 1 minute let alone 10.
