Re: Spin Classes?

Spin classes are good... but, the only setback can come from going
anaerobic when your training regimen may not call for high
intensity-low volume training.  In essence, Spin classes work unless
you are training for low intensity-high volume results (i.e., IM/long
course triathlons).  Speed improvement as a result of spin classes can
be relative - speed vs. endurance.
