Awesome result!!
30w! great job!
2hrs of endurance in the bank today, legs really felt it in the final 30 mins but heart rate was very very steady!
Dodging raindrops. Wind SW 8mph gusting 11mph. Mostly cloudy
55°F. Weather at end of ride: NW
9mph gusting 15mph. Mostly cloudy
58°F.
Finally getting some wind
Lemark what can I say 40 min at FTP is more painful than I care to share Final week before a deserved rest week
Yum our unrefined sugar looks like a solid but is almost like wet sand
WOW! Congratulations
Yeah, this left a mark! Did not enjoy this and I know there’s another variation of this workout waiting for me next week
At 30 minutes: Yeeeeeeah, I totally got this, probably gonna increase the intensity for the last set
At 48 minutes: I seem to be in a spot of bother.
At 62 minutes: DON’T YOU F*ING CRACK NOW
At 70 minutes:
British translation: WTF!
Yesterday I did an outdoor ride instead of Bays. Nice to get out for ride number 2 of the year, although feels so weird after masses of focussed indoor work all winter. I tried to keep it in upper Z2, but that was pretty much impossible even though it’s flat round here.
Back to quality today. A gel and 90g of home made Beta Fuel are all that got me through this one. A couple more workouts and I’m done with General Build and into recovery week - can’t wait!!
Bashful plus some 60% at the end. Have settled on a maintenance plan to get me through this weird time. I hope one 8 week cycle will be enough!
Since I’m WFH now and can’t really venture out, I worked in a core and weights workout earlier in the day then added some endurance after work.
Started a built plan with my new FTP.
Today I had to perform the “Pierce” which consist out of 6x4.5-minute repeating sets of dying. Oh joy.
Decided to try my first ever real sprint workout with Birling…I found out that I am most certainly not a sprinter. Made it 2/3 through the first interval, turned down 5% for the last three but still failed between 25 and 27 seconds through each. Followed that up with Taku
2 more hours in the sunshine this evening (I love this working from home lark - I can use my travelling home from work time to add to my ride)…one less lap than yesterday and kept it easy for 37.5 miles. I like my local loop but it may get a bit tiresome if it is all I can use all summer…especially with zero racing! - put my front wheel in a pot hole which I’m pretty convinced wasn’t there yesterday ….but no damage done as I’m still using my winter bike and tyres…in fact I may use them most of the summer as zippiness will probably not be needed in 2020…I’ll settle for dodging this virus as a successful season!
