Help me make sense of my recent vo2max / lactate test

• […] Any small incline and I am easily pedaling 180w without it feeling challenging. In order to maintain Z2 on one of the main roads I use for training (~3% grade) I have to drop down to such an easy spin I feel like I am not moving.

That’s quite normal and makes endurance rides for us mere mortals at times a bit boring if you don’t select the right routes.

• I would like to see a bigger range for myself in terms of improving both my threshold and max intervals to allow myself to maintain higher outputs for longer. My endurance is locked and I can ride for long distances back to back, but when it comes to racing I find my ability to hold harder efforts feels like a limiter.

What does your training volume and intensity look like right now?
