I hope your symptoms are mild and that you recover quickly.
My training also seems to have also fallen off of a cliff since Easter - vacation then back-to-back weeks with business trips, a bunch of bike fit adjustments, and trainer power mysteriously lower than power meter (and the PM is right). I feel like I’ve been kicked all the way back to Base even though AI FTP Detection thinks my FTP is only down 2w. I feel like it’s down 15w. 
Anyway, I commiserate but hope you get better soon.
I’ve don’t a dozen tests over the past three weeks. This is the first positive.
I guess I’ve just been battling something else.
I was starting to think I had it but wasn’t going to +ve given how long I was struggling.
Hope you are feeling better soon.
Just commuted last Friday. No lift. Saturday I alternated down from Temple (thresh 4.2, 90 minutes) to Columbine -1 (Thresh 4.1, 75 minutes, still productive) because it was 1515 in the afternoon after an absolutely full day of kids’ activities and I wasn’t motivated to turn the pedals for 90 minutes, so notching it down a time increment seemed easier at the time.
Had Collins +1 penciled in for Monday, but skipped for some reason. Can’t really remember why, now.
Bird completed. Add 5 minutes. Replaced “routine builder 75” with an outside search for mud and a reason to use my new HydroShot. It worked, for what it is, and I now know what it isn’t (a real power washer).
Truchas +1, add 4 minutes at 94% to the final interval, so it was 1x22, and 1x26 rather than 2x22…
Only got two sets of squatting in, really light, but nice and deep so I’m ok with it.
Commuted in to work Friday AM. Long way home. No lift (keep them easy, right?).
Saturday (yesterday) no time to ride before 6pm… all day in the sun (soccer) and ice arenas (hockey) and behind the wheel chauffeuring…
Today I though about alternating the workout down, after dropping kids off an a Sunday AM birthday party… “Forget it, if I Fail, I fail.” Indianhouse -1, 3/x12 O/u, complete. Marked “hard” but waffled, because perceived exertion was way lower than I thought it would be. I chose not overthink it.
I’m in-office this week so I expect to commute most days, and have an assessment Tuesday (ramp currently, but might swap for 20 minute), Redondo -1 (SS 6.7, productive) and Warlow (Thresh/O/U 4.7) on Saturday.
I’m going to try to get a few more lifting sessions in this week, even if still stupid light and low volume, because I don’t want DOMS to make a comeback just because I’ve been too inconsistent.
With a .92IF over 3.5 hours I would want to quit too! 
Stromlo +2 for me today - swapped it into my plan as I wanted a slightly higher TIZ at a slightly lower intensity.
Really hard day after TR AI increased my FTP again last week. I suspect its slightly over estimating and I was forced to dial it down a few % on the last rep and even take a quick pause. 5x8m @102% is a tough one anyway but with an FTP even a few watts too high I think its right on the border of doable. Still very pleased with 40 mins of hard threshold work and lots of time >90% vo2.
I would have dialled back my FTP slightly after today except AT has adapted the next session down, so I’ll go with that and see how AT responds to the issue. I had a really hard 80 mile ride on Saturday and could also have just been slightly fatigued as well, so lets see what happens.
Outside 3hr endurance with 3x20m tempo tomorrow and the weather looks good again 
Thanks for posting this one - need exactly that for one day next week - 30 mins before being dragged out early for the day…only issue will be the 10 hours on my feet afterwards 
First indoor workout for about a month. Id skipped a few before a solid week in the mountains and then had a recovery week scheduled I did outdoors. So when I ran AI FTP I was expecting it to go down but it went up again 
Anyway I had Briones tonight adapted into the plan (although Godhard is still there too 
) It went quite smoothly until the 5th stepup interval when I didn’t quite have the step up required until the last minute when I dropped to the TT position and ignored the target. Its the most I’ve sweated for a while.
I’ve found myself a weird kind of TR workout fetish. I like doing this 5x5 format. I seem to be slowly working through the catalogue
Each one is hard enough to feel like I’ve done some work but not so hard that I’m gassed by the end. No idea if they are even productive anymore… I just like doing them 
this looks painful
I did this beast yesterday. Glad I did… it really reinforced how much burning these matches really takes out of you. The last spikes were pretty hard to finish and I had to stand for the last two!
Hopefully, this will help in my quest to develop some punch:
I have literally zero natural sprint ability. This stuff is soooo hard for me.
Good times here. Forgot how much I enjoy TB workouts. Last 2 intervals got a little tougher but happy with my hr and perceived intensity. Of course my two laskos help 
Are you deliberately elevating the recovery power so high, or is there some other reason it’s is well over the lower target power? Just curious to what’s happening here.
You’ve used that term a few times. “Traditional Base”? Just curious.
After deciding to enter a midweek TT (yesterday) and AIFTP increasing my FTP, I decided to enter the TT as a B race and rate Monday’s workout as Very Hard. With a 50 miles TT (another B race) coming up at the weekend after adding last night’s TR I expected my plan to update. It did, but not in the way I was expecting. AT entered a Threshold workout parallel to yesterday’s TT (I skipped that) and lengthened today’s to 90mins. I probably should have skipped it too but I decided to give it ago but to do it on resistance mode so I had a natural intensity bail out. I needed it. The only time I hit the target I was down in the TT position ignoring the target
Yes traditional base Mv2 is what I am on. Have done a bunch of the plans before and restarted mv2 again.
AT works for them now as well. I personally like lv3, mv2/3 and also some of the hv1. A lot of tempo and endurance in there. Get good results from them as they tend to be longer in nature.
Wet outside, as forecast, this morning so had lined up an indoor 2hr session. Initially I was feeling bullish and was going to go for Polar Bear -3 that gives a great longer session at the top’ish of z2. However, my first run downstairs recealed a little DOMs from yesterdays fairly hard session, so I decided to dial it back to mid-z2 ahead of a couple of shorter and more intense weekend days for a change.
So, Perkins -1 for a little fun. I have just never really done z2 on the trainer but the new rocker plate has transformed things and with the addition of a bigger screen and some Bike The World YT vids, its made indoor sessions a totally different and better experience. Today was a ride up the Mortirolo before I do it for real in July
It also got me thinking about a target audax I am planning on riding next week - will be 200km with the ride there and back and its been a B event goal for a while to test my longer endurance. Trouble is the weather forecast is now a bit crap with rain and 35mph winds forecast 
Todays indoor session got me thinking I might try a 4hr indoor endurance session instead if the weather turns out to be bad?? Never tried anything that extreme but I think it might be doable if I plan it correctly, and give me a solid endurance day as per the plan.
