Today, I did Mary Austin-1… here is the analysis - one from the Elite Suito data, the other from my Stages PM…
Elite Suito:
Stages:
While I’m trying to ignore the Stages PM when training indoors, just notice the difference in avg power and XSS/Strain score!
My Garmin using the Stages recorded this is as a VO2Max workout vs a Threshold one…
My Garmin reported an IF of .936 vs the targeted 0,89
Am I overtraining like this? I mean training this close to FTP and then having this difference making these trainings actually a lot more intense… will this backfire? Should I look at dropping the intensity of the Elite Suito to be more in line with what it should be as per my Stages PM? Or should I just ignore the Stages PM and hopefully reap the benefits of the trainings actually being a bit harder?
Note: I don’t mind working hard at all - problem is that with whatever sport I do, I tend to go hard and this has resulted in overtraining and injuries in the past, which I’d like to avoid…
