Then promptly knocked off with someone doing a 5:11 lap… viewed them when they came past me later on and they were doing 3/wg with 100w…! Their picture on Zwift companion showed a 30 year old body builder! Must have been using the weight of one of his arms
Baird -2. My first VO2max workout since being off the bike for a few weeks for travel. Had to backspin a few times to get a little more recovery, but I finished so that was a win.
This is a custom 90-minute workout with 75 minutes of endurance riding at 70-75%. My legs are cooked from weight lifting. I was doing fine at 70% but the 75% put me over the edge, then work started calling, too. So I pulled the plug.
Here are my notes for the session.
Lots of fatigue in the legs due to lifting Strength 2 early yesterday (TDY), doing extra sets, and only three hours of sleep.
haha, every vaccine had a different impact on me but the first one (Astra Zeneca) was a real killer. I had to stop almost a week completely. Last one was Moderna and yes, increased RHR a little etc but i didnt care. seems like we will get vaccinated almost every 3-4 months, i cannot stop one week for each.
Did Kashmir, was meant to do Truchas-1 but swapped it out as I felt a bit tired and rough this morning. This is much more like a natural trail, the three sprints are like surprise efforts - you turn a corner and there’s a couple of steps to climb or a short steep ramp.
Gave it “Hard” in the survey response and got an adaptation for the workout I should have done, from Truchas-1 to Truchas. Not going to do it - the wine is open!
I swam on Wednesday afternoon, replaced my scheduled VO2 Max session with a spin outside on my fixie on Thursday, and then completed Avalanche Spire -2 (Threshold workout) + a swim on Friday.
I think all of the sessions being relatively low intensity helped, but no negative experiences here
I’ve had that too I think its just directly comparing against your Endurance PL’s. Compared to that it is a stretch, compared to Disaster -1 its a breeze
Did a gym workout yesterday that focused on rotational stability and deadlift power; then Torbert in the evening. Definitely a fun one, 90% is a little uncomfortable but the 30” sprints on the front definitely made it spicy.
Then today, 16xBillats on the track. 5mi run total. This evening an aerobic ride! About to go to vail to snowboard for 7 days, and a military training exercise for 20 days… so trying to dig a really deep aerobic fitness hole on the front end. I’m getting a late start to training for the race season so hopefully this dampens the damage a bit.
