The notes tell the real story.
Thatās brutal.
I get wireless for outside, but Iām surprised indoor equipment doesnāt have more wired options available to avoid this sort of thing from happening.

Back to back 3 x 20 (Tray Mountain last night) . Rough nightās sleep so no time for brekkie, just a bar and a bottle of mix while on the bike.
Canāt say I enjoyed it that much, just too similar to last night. Had swapped out some of these sweetspots for longer Z2 previously, I might do that again next week if itās a similar progression.
Have you tried Eclipse? Very similar but shorter intervals seem to go by quicker than staring at ā19:59 to goā
Thanks @sam.fuller1 I did it last week. Good idea to swap it out - didnāt occur to me, definitely easier to get through. I could just bump it up a couple of percent to match the TSSš.
congrats. Just curious, why are you retesting? Donāt you have another week left in your plan?
yeah, i think the point is the volume of 2 hours. If it was 25 minutes at the end, would you do it? There is no such thing as junk miles.
5x5min VO2 Max, second workout in the VO2 progression that I started last week. NP of 313W for an hour (my FTP is 315W)!
Iām relatively new to cycling and canāt get my heart rate up nearly as high as I can running or skiing. By the end of these intervals Iām only seeing around 170bpm; not all that different than what I see at the end of a long threshold interval. But Iām doing VO2 Max at the highest power I can sustain throughout the workout, for sure. Digging deep to get through the final interval at the same power as the previous intervals. I think this means I need to do more VO2 Maxā¦
Tested on Monday but think I ballsed it up by restarting heavy lifting the day before, plus a bit of confusion on my hardware. Apart from the effort at the time I donāt find ramp testing to be particularly fatiguing so itās no biggie for me.
Completely agree. Thereās also nothing stopping you bumping up a part of the recovery to z2 as long as it doesnāt affect the work. E.g. 2.5 mins z1 spin, 10 min z2, 2.5 mins z1 then back to the SS interval
Edit: forgot to tag @gwhilts
Legs felt heavy after Spencer +2 the other day but I rode it out.
Itās hard to call whatās worse - short, hard intervals that make it feel like youāre dying or the long sort of dull tension of long intervals right at FTP. Feeling like your lungs are going to explode is somehow more exciting than trying to not look at the clock over 10 mins.
Day 2 in my lilā three day Z2 block in TBLV1, second week. Fletcher. This one felt a bit āgrindyā - even with the podcast for company this was a boring roll today. Felt a bit tired, sleep hasnāt been great. I know Iāll see the benefit of all the z2. As Iāve continued to say though, itās nice feeling like Iām progressing without constantly feeling beat down
Eyeing up those 1.75, and 2 hour sessions. I might take some of those outdoors and take the efficiency hit.
Today:
Later today I have Dade +1. I failed it on Wednesday and had to bail out mid-workout. Today Iām trying it again, hopefully I feel better. I completed Dade +1 an year ago with a similar FTP (-3 watts) and I know I can do it.
Baxter today. Unfortunately the assiomas have still not arrived, which meant another session of dealing with the painsled app stalling out every once in a while. Thankfully Iāve become adept at clearing it and getting it back to relaying power info quite quickly with little interference. But you can still see a few weird dips and surges where I had to fiddle with it. Another pain was my chamois which decided to not allow a single position of comfort for pretty much the entire 90 minute session today 
Like on Wednesday, really enjoying the use of higher cadence with lower resistance. I think the lowest I saw was 90rpm and the highest was around 108rpm. Another finish feeling built and not burnt. 
You and I are twins on our workouts today. Except the FTP. Yours is double mine! But same on the rpm 90-107.
