Tunnabora for me today. Wk 3 of Sweet Spot Base Med I here in the UK. I keep having to tell myself to ‘trust the process’ after a really good summer of testing and enjoying my fitness. Some of these SS sessions are a real pleasure!! ---

I just paused the workout at the 15 second mark of the 30 sec interval. Started pedaling again 30 seconds later. ---

Really struggled again, not feeling super confident my FTP is holding up at the moment. 6 days til race day, I might retest on weds. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/3X/b/c/bcae6c9ee09c9a7fb4dce27cdcee3514a257f703.jpeg) ---

First one for sweet spot base 1 with my new FTP. I’m mixing workouts from Mid Volume and Low Volume. This felt like Zone 2 to me, felt just at my Vent threshold. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/3X/a/7/a72286554afa6a53f68fe2a87c3e34cd9a3495d5.png) ---

I find 2min VO2max intervals hard and when I needed a backspin, I managed the push to lift HR after. This was my first foray into resistance mode. I’m still figuring out resistance level, gears and cadence, but I think I like it. ---

This didn’t feel hard (I know it shouldn’t) but my HR was up in VO2 territory. My season break has thrown my body into chaos 😕 ---

Bashful +2 = ouch!! Feels like I was in the box from first to last interval! Had to drop a few percent at the end but glad I survived. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/3X/2/7/27abfcc1a17512ea68262371ff3b2423b8c10b57.jpeg) ---

Felt like my legs were going to fall off in the first interval. Decided to get through to the first recovery and see if things settled. Seemed to at first but realized early in the second it wasn’t happening today. Disappointed but my body is telling me to take a break so I’m going to listen this time. Not looking to repeat the month off the bike I had early spring this year from pushing through being sick. Taking at least a couple days totally off to hopefully get back to normal then reevaluate my plan. ---

Pisgah for me - [https://www.trainerroad.com/app/career/bobw/rides/90870904-pisgah](https://www.trainerroad.com/app/career/bobw/rides/90870904-pisgah) I did this in July so interesting to compare figures between the two. I’ve the same FTP so the effort was the same but my HR was much lower, last time I spent quite a bit of time in Zones 5, 6 AND 7 but this time I didn’t get above Z4. Both workouts were part of a taper week for a ride at the weekend but last time I was pretty fatigued without realising it until I got into riding the actual event. The timing of this weekend’s event is down to the weather and personal choice so I may do it or leave it for another weekend. ---

I don’t normally post my workouts, but this one seriously hurt! I had a big day of physical activity yesterday plus a 14hr night shift , which set me back. Hopefully posting relieves the pain from my legs😂 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/3X/0/5/05f0d86b5caa0157b516e93087382fcf6154db3a.jpeg) ---

1x45 at 90% but I was feeling good so decided to make it threshold instead and averaged 97% for 45 minutes! I pushed the effort the last 15 minutes just to see how I would respond (going to do another TTE/FTP test this weekend) and learn exactly where I feel my FTP is. I’m thinking it’s really only 3-4 watts higher than I have it set right now, but I’ll let the test do the talking on Saturday. ![Screenshot 2020-10-06 at 9.02.37 AM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/3X/d/0/d0b46049131efd7e1d981c69e524c9cc96787743.png) This morning, I was like “no, I don’t want to wake up at 5 and work out!” Then I realized “but then I won’t post on what workout I did today 😔” and somehow that weird motivation was enough to get me on the bike! I only discovered this thread when someone wrote elsewhere that this was one of their favorite threads, which seemed so odd and boring to me, but decided to check it out nonetheless. Now, here I am, holding myself accountable for my rides because of this “odd and boring” thread that I like so much! ---

First ramp test coming up this afternoon (new TR user). Legs still sore from the gym on the weekend. Go for it?? ---

In principal, I would test early and often. In practice, I would rest another day or two. My 2 cents 🙂 ---

Instead of Moosilauke (Tempo/SST/Threshold hybrid) I just did a custom SST workout. Thought I was doing 50 mins TiZ, but once I was in the workout saw it was 60 mins - oh well! Nice to have a bit of pressure on the pedals. 5 hours later I just did a quick and easy weight session. ![Screenshot_20201006-181702](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/3X/8/8/8871614f612171fca2a35e306a2b14c0b1aad396.jpeg) ---

Sorry! But on the other hand 60 is better than 50 🙂 ---

No probs! I was going to switch to resistance mode after 45 or 50, but felt pretty good so just saw it through to the end 😃 ---

Will definitely test more frequently using this method. 3.63-\>3.86w/kg. Hopefully pass 4.0 over the winter 🙂 [Previous page](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/what-workout-did-you-do-today-2020-part-2/38698.md?page=81) [Next page](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/what-workout-did-you-do-today-2020-part-2/38698.md?page=83)
