Jacks +3 was on the docket for today. I’m getting to the point that I almost enjoy the supra-threshold ints. After a medication change a couple of months ago they seem to be much more manageable than they had been in the past. We’ll see how that holds up. “A” race is only three weeks away!
Yesterday Baird outside at local hill. Just after 1h of core crossfit in gym… Today seems to be funny :D…
Today, yesterday and Monday. Currently just winging my sessions, depending on how I feel and mixing it up with some outdoor stuff.
Need to give myself a kick up the back side and get on a plan.
Geiger 3x12-minute
I didn’t have enough time after work and kids - compiled the SST efforts into 1 effort 32mins @ 88-94%
Last 25mins @346w Avg 333w.
Put in 4 efforts above threshold
Ericsson +1. After lots of VO2Max work these last few weeks, this felt good. That last minute at 115 rpm at the end of each interval is entertaining to say the least.
Just starting a block of VO2 Max and extended race specific threshold intervals. Next workout 2x10 threshold with 1 minute race starts to kick them off.
6x5 minutes at 400 watts (Kosciuszko -1), then finished up with an hour+ riding trails. I had to turn myself inside out to get that last interval done
That feels like when you get passed by a Porsche cruising at 230 km/h on the autobahn.
I could maybe have done 6x5 seconds. Maybe.

Felt good, another day off tomorrow to recover legs before doing 90 minutes of under overs (Warlow). That should be ‘fun’…
Nasty one today. The fourth block tells you to stand at the first ‘over’ and hoo boy was that a mistake. Managed to barely hold till the end of the block and somehow motivated myself to do the next one, but this was one of the hardest workouts I’ve done
Antelope -4 tonight, plus 15 additional minutes of cool down. Time flew by watching the athletics World Championships while training.
Baxter -1. I’ve been trying resistance mode lately to see if I’m missing any benefits.
The upload to Strava was kind of ridiculous–40 MPH max speed with a 23 MPH average. From looking at another TR post, it may have to do with using the big ring the whole time.
Planned a threshold session but went for 6x15 sweet spot. Two 800tss weeks coming in to a third hard week + accidentally losing weight dropping from 66kg to under 65kg = running on fumes this week (w/kg gains though!).
Ramp Test today then Taku. Quiet happy that I only dropped 2 watts on my test after a 3 month holiday from structured training. Was lucky enough to be able to take my bike on the road trip and tag along with local bunch rides scattered with some solo spins.
