Time (again) got away from me today, so I stuck with the scheduled Taylor -2 instead of switching to regular Taylor. Ended up continuously cranking it up, ended up at 125% at the end, should have done that from the beginning.
Strava said my running has been kinda rubbish. It gave me a stress score of 5 for my 20 minute run yesterday. 5. Lol. Basically told me I wasted 20 minutes. 
But, I think every time we get up and try, itās pretty darn good ā especially if itās like you putting out big watts on the rollers for even part of a workoutā that is actually way super good.
Also @AndyBaggott can you pull a bottle from a cage to drink from it on the rollers? I still canāt. Almost fell over today trying. Itās like the sudden movement or something.
Recovery week vo2! It was a bit odd because during the workout it gave me a target of 204 but the breakdown post workout had the targets at 202. So it looks like I massively overshot.
Ready to Pettit away the rest of the week. Some of us triathlete types are doing a group Pettit on Saturday at 1300EST in case anyone is interested: RSVP - TrainerRoad
Givens. First workout I donāt complete since September - which is huge. Just couldnāt do 130% VO2max interval - maybe Disaster -2 and a 5 K this weekend is to blame. But the real fail was the second 120% when my rear derailleur hanger failed and snapped. Ugh! Now starts the warranty partā¦get partsā¦1 ft of snow predicted tomorrow nightā¦ Starting to look like the recovery week I should have had last week 
@mikepstein Finally! Someone with a drive train thatās dirtier than mine.
That sucks! Not a great time of year to be chasing down spares.
I ended up doing Pettit instead of the prescribed Taku. That was quite nice after missing my recovery week rides all together.
Note to self. Donāt leave the Ant+ dongle next to a cold drink bottle in 80% humidity. 
Pay the stupid tax Rossy.
I did the same workout after work!
After the fourth interval the instructions mention to bump it up a few percentage points if I was feeling OK. I wasnāt. But I still felt the need to try bumping the workout by 2%. It doesnāt seem like much. I know.
Needless to say I put the workout back to 100% for the last interval.
You are incredibly steady with your power. Keep it up!
Thanks! I did NOT bump the intensity 2% 
in fact, I dont think i could comprehend the instructions by that point.

I absolutely suck when it comes to VO2 Max work (give me under/overs any day) so I was particularly dreading this one, especially as my previous VO2 Max workouts in SPBHV had resulted in my form and cadence going to shit. But no, despite getting that end of FTP test āso I guess this is what drowning feels like?ā feeling for the last 30 sec of the 9th interval, managed to keep to power and cadence targets throughout so well chuffed with that! 
Man, feeling like drowning is 100% accurate to that feeling when you hit the point where you feel like you canāt take in any more oxygen no matter how hard or fast you breathe.
TBH, Iāve never tried, but can imagine itās quite a challenge due to the sudden movement as you suggested.
I drink from a wide mouthed bottle which sits on the table/launch platform at the side of my rollers.
Another Carson for me last night.
Dropped my FTP by 20 as I havenāt done any threshold or VO2 for a few weeks, but Iām encouraged that this workout felt easier than usual.
Iāll hold off committing to a plan until after Xmas and just mix in some higher TSS workouts.
I think it was my weight loss attempt that broke me, Iām sure Iāll need to commit to that after Xmas too 
, but Iām seriously considering seeing a dietician as all my previous attempts have ultimately stagnated and failed .
Antelope +5 today with 30 mins extended
