I participated in a cycling and nutrition study at a local university program. It was a 1hr at lactate threshold (via the old Velotron). I would estimate my TSS to be around 70.
4x5min low cadence zone 3 followed by 4 10sec max sprints with 50s recovery between.
I’m racing on Sunday.
First big grassfire of the season was yesterday and as a result I was lacking my usual oomph today. Bribed myself out onto my run with the promise of an outdoor ride instead of Pettit.
Planning to do my brick tomorrow outdoors too.
i don’t have a smart trainer… But I did notice a big difference when I changed my smoothing to 2 seconds, I really kept the power closer to the target the whole time. Since I do a lot of shorter power efforts, having a longer smoothing time made it hard to see if I had hit my target early on in the interval and I noticed that my power line was much smoother in all of my workouts afterwards.
I was supposed to do whiteface -1, but I am racing tomorrow and want to have a productive week next week so opted for Baxter instead.
I know some people say to train through a C race, but as I had mentioned earlier… I don’t want to bury myself, as I want to go really hard tomorrow on the bike, but still hit my targets for my goal workouts next week.
openers ride before Iowa WInd and Rock…340 miles of gravel, starts tomorrow at 4am! Not sure an openers ride is needed, lol, more like riding out nervous energy. No rain no rain no rain!!!

I did Merced +1 but had been dealing with an upset stomach all day. Got through 5/6 intervals but had to call it a little early due to nausea. Still figuring out how to fuel properly.
Rode Eclipse today, each ride seems to get harder than the previous one, but only by a tiny amount. Really enjoying the TR approach.
McAdie - still at my dropped FTP. I’m having a mini training camp over the Easter weekend. Weather was lovely today but with running a Learn to Row course this morning and not getting back home until after 4pm I ate and then trained indoors.
I’ll be running the rowing course again tomorrow but should be able to get home a bit earlier and try to get some road miles. If not, then sweet-spot.
Mary Austin -1. Blew up at the end of the 5th set. Cramps in the calves, pain in the knee - I’m not used to train I the afternoon, I’ll blame it on that.
I miss rowing! Would love to be out in an 8 again.
