Ta, I think it takes a bit of conditioning but I don’t really find it tedious at all.
The first 15-20 minutes warming up I spend with my own thoughts or a quick bit of browsing, then a film, an episode, a bit of reading and then some music or a bit of TV and it’s done.
Getting up at 5:15AM to be on the bike for just after 6AM having finished yesterday’s ride little over 12 hours before is more of a chore
Tunnabora for me today. Slight issue with my cranks right at the beginning of the first ladder, swiftly fixed it. Then at the end of the first ladder my laptop froze up and had to reboot it. Luckily the workout saved so I could resume but I may have lost up to 5 minutes. Those issues aside I really nailed it again, these under ten minute sweetspot intervals are really working for me right now. Longer intervals such as in Eclipse still need work, I specifically failed Eclipse this weekend. Main takeaway is that I now physically and way more importantly mentally own these shorter interval sweetspot workouts!
Huxley for me; the ‘lap 3’ intervals were horrible and I couldn’t stick to the wattages and go with the attacks. For the second and third time around I had to swap to resistance mode to get through as best I could.
Had some trouble with resistance mode (first time using it) and had to stop a few times to try and get the % slider somewhere sensible.
Tunnabora for me this morning as well. 1st workout after my “between SSB1 Week 3 and 4” rest week. Hurt more than I thought it would, hopefully it’s just my legs getting the feel back. We’ll find out on Thursday, I guess.
Carson +2 day for me… I’m working through SSB Mid 1 at the moment, using an FTP from a test I performed JUST after a month of post-season recovery and a bit of a cold. I have a feeling I’m rising fairly quickly back to my previous numbers because I’m selecting + versions of most workouts and finding them easier as I work through the plan. Carson +2 is meant to be 0.81 IF and I completed at 0.85 IF because I couldn’t help but drift over the prescribed power for most of the intervals. Nice feeling, but come next ramp test before SSB Mid 2 I imagine I’ll be suffering a whole lot more!
