Well done!
Remind me to never race you.

Petit -1 with a 10% drop in intensity.
Iâve always been guilty of skipping recovery rides. After listening to @chad talk about the benefits and what can be gained from them in the last podcast, I felt guilty and opted for an easy spin to round out the week!

Antelope+2 for me last night⌠5 x 10 at 94% but I ended up drifting up towards 96-104% with an RPE iâd associate with lower sweetspot, so that can only mean one thing (I hope!) - TR works and I have seen an FTP boost through these 5 weeks of SSB1!
Now to find out if I will pay for my over-excitement in the last interval (oops) last night, by attempting Eclipse today ( 3 x 20 SS )âŚ

Hoping itâs just the battery failing, but couldnât ride as the power meter isnât working. Swapped in what we think is a new one, but still nothingâŚ
Finished Petit today, after Palisade on Friday a two hour outdoor ride yesterday and gym work in the morning I wouldnât have been able to complete a more intense workout I think.

Round bald +3 - harder than I thought it would be but mostly mentally challenging to do 4 20 minute intervals

Sunday run time, nice and steady pace with minimal HR drift
as some others have said that TSS overvalues easier efforts. Looks like the strava hr based suffer score really scores easy efforts pretty low. which says this is a 34, running pace TSS would be about an 86 or 87

Mary Austin - nearly broke me today. Had to do a ten sec. backpedal on the last three intervals to get through, and that after having dropped the intensity 3% after the first set of two intervals. First time having done Mary Austin and 60min total of threshold riding was a bit more difficult than I was expecting. Got through it though and now have a recovery week before moving to some SS base.
It was nice of coach Chad to leave it until the end of the workout to announce that itâs one of the hardest in the libraryđ

Me too! It wasnât terrible for me, I came into it really rested and fueled. Iâm also pretty new so I think my ftp has sneaked up. New ftp test Tuesday.

Pettit for me tonight.
Find these easier ones harder as my mind has more time to wander and thereâs no specific things to work towards

Second week of maximal intervalsâŚI still canât time the shifting and spinning up right to hit the interval! Still it meant that the sixth and last was the most powerful

Great. I have this ride next weekend. Kinda makes me wanna just stay at work until Monday.
He said the exact same thing about Leconte â the workout that almost killed me!
Leconte â threshold session.
Mary Austin â threshold session.
Iâm sensing a trend in the âhardest in the libraryâ label.
I love how my biggest weakness magically aligns with the hardest workouts. Awesome.
