My husband asked me where all the pecan praline chex mix was. I responded “you know this is a build week!”
I’ve started counting down the prescribed workouts before my A race. It’s surprisingly motivating. Much like the people on this thread!
Only 209 to go! That number looks so small now.
I’m glad I went back to SSB1 MV for the silly season. The first few workouts seemed like a bit of a joke because my legs were fresh.
I’m very aware that this will not last.
PS: The Garmin Ant+ dongle came back from the dead with a little help. That means I get to spend my stupid tax on bike stuff right?
My first time doing Carillon and it’s on +2 increment. Tbh, it’s little tiring with its optional quadrant drill. lol
Been on SSBHV I for 3 weeks and now I feel the fatigue has catchin up.
Fortunately tomorrow is easy day. Need some advice guys. should i let go the recovery ride (Pettit 39 TSS) and just sleep or better still do it?
If you’re questioning it, and you’re feeling the fatigue, then sleep! Especially since you’re on week 3 meaning you likely have some tough workouts this weekend to achieve before the recovery week is here.
And on the note of recovery…I believe I need a short recovery period after last week. I had a short recovery week two weeks ago, where I did a long FTP test on Saturday then a week of fairly intense workouts culminating in the Rockhouse death last Saturday. I’m still suffering from…I mean reaping the benefits of that workout…
Yesterday’s workout was way rough and today was not going to happen. I even skipped doing it this morning and opted for more sleep. Still a big ol nope in the evening too!
Tomorrow was supposed to be sweet spot. I think I’ll do recovery again. I’ll probably just push this entire week back. I’m not training for anything specific other than to get fast eventually anyway 
Dade +4 again:
Yeah this was a lot easier with a 16-watt drop from two weeks ago. Coach Chad kept saying that if I increased the intensity it means I should do another FTP test and like I JUST DID ONE CHAD THANKS
It was hard and was happy it was over - counting down the minutes during the last part.
But I seem to do better in exercises with short, hard intervals than in long sustained threshold efforts. So, yes, I know, I should focus on the latter…
If you’re feeling like you might be on the verge of getting sick, take a break for a couple days and see if it’s accumulated fatigue or not. This isn’t the time to push through any potential illness. Trust me on that.
Shoveled 10+ inches of snow…I’m done. 
Tallac for me today!
45 minutes of sweet spot. I was pleased with myself, I managed this well with only arseache to complain about.
Wow!
You’re not wrong! I’ve been looking into a solar arrangement for my house, when all I really need is @Charlie_Botterill hooked up to a dynamo.
It’s a shame that the feed in tariffs are so low these days.
