Mcadie +1 end of sweet spot MV1, rest week to follow.
Glad to see you back at it!
Have you thought about starting with traditional base?
28 hours of driving in 4 days last week (plus work). Very little sleep. My recovery week was anything but.
Anyway, after spending 1.5 days napping on the sofa it was time to spin the legs. I’m feeling good.
The ramp test was probably not the best idea. An early bail was always on the cards for this one.
I hit a 214 estimate without going deep. 230 was hurting more than it should on the last week of SSB 2. I’ll chew on that overnight before continuing.
I don’t usually do openers before ramp tests but my routine is all shot to 
anyway, so WHY NOT. The VO2max bits hurt, I will be shocked if I manage to hang on for the full 19:30 tomorrow.
Those cookies look amazing!! I made Rice Krispie treats shaped like trees and called it a day. Lol.
Thanks for the suggestion. I will probably end up doing some sort of hybrid between the two if I can build back up to it, or maybe just rolling my own, which is what I’ve been doing with free rides. My electrophysiologist tells me that adding in some intensity is good therapy for the POTS symptoms. It’s a delicate balancing act, though, because this past week as I’ve ratcheted up the intensity a bit, I’m back to sleeping 11+ hours a night, but at least without the malaise of the first six months.
Antelope +5 (7x10 93% 5R) yesterday and Antelope +4 (6x10 93% 5R) today.
When I tell myself that 6x10 will be so much easier than 7x10 before I start it seems like it is. It also makes it feel like a better workout when I’m done. SOOOO, next time I do Antelope +5 I’m just gonna tell myself how much easier it will be than the nonexistent Antelope +6 that’s 8X10. Mind over matter 
The old Mary of the Austin. Was feeling good during the prior 94-99% intervals, so I knew in advance this was going to go smoothly. Last time this came up, I struggled mightily and even re-did it a few weeks later to try to redeem it. This time, no need. Looking forward to the Spencer beat down tomorrow.
Nice job! I remember this one being brutal… I just looked ahead and I have it scheduled for Christmas Day 
! Hopefully my sons don’t wake me up too early… 
just make sure to eat your christmas cookies ahead of time. you need all the carbs you can get.
So I wanted easy ride for the start of the week, to keep the legs spinning…but then I saw this climb so I decided to SST it, and one thing led to another and I have done one hour power test. You know how it is… Nevertheless my last 40 min power is now 1h power (and I feel with couple of watts left in the tank as my HR was all the time in threshold zone).
312W for one hour. At least there is some improvement since last one hour test.
Sometime it just ain’t meant to be. Bailed on 630 am ride as I felt absolutely terrible, got back on at lunch, was feeling good, my boss called me 2x in a row, so I took second call and just couldn’t re motivate myself. Probably not the end of the world to skip it but i like to check boxes so I might do it tomorrow and do endurance ride afterwards.
I’ll probably do that next year because my chocolates are definitely not “chocolate box” worthy!
I bet they taste amazing! I think homemade goodies are the best part of the holidays!
