Welcome to the daily workout thread for the 2023 season, first half. Prior thread: What workout did you do today? (2022, part 1)

Got thrashed by Palisade +1 just now. Recently changed to Wahoo Speedplay Powerlink (single sided) pedals and have been rocking my workouts. Put down my last threshold workout was moderate and was gifted a stretch. In the meantime I picked up a Wahoo Kicker V6 and used that as the only power source.…

A looonnngg endurance ride before tomorrow’s start of a rest week. Today’s uk weather forecast was abysmal so I opted for an indoor session and I’m still a little tender in parts after hitting some black ice just over a week ago. The time went surprisingly quickly although a few episodes of “the sh…

Same, except “Very hard”. I felt good for the first two sets, third was uncomfortable and the last set was painful. [IMG_9434] This actually ends my training block. Next week is recovery (with a little Disaster sprinkled in :wink:).

I love the Venado sweet spot series. Very achievable, a bit of progression, and high average power numbers (relative to FTP, obviously) that are very satisfying. [IMG_7856]

[image] I failed this halfway through on Sunday–had a bad weekend overall for life stress and I’m not sure why I even tried. Went for it again today and got through. 94-92-92-90-90% for the intensities. God bless the 90s at the end. Lifting after.

I had South Twin in my calendar tonight and if Intervals/ Strava Sauce are right I just about emptied the tank W’ wise although I didn’t quite average the 125% for the 2min intervals. I marked it as ‘All Out’ as there was a lot of standing up. That got me a struggle survey and its been a long day …

Ritter -4 was in my calendar today. After the sprint at the end of the first 15 mins block according to intervals I had just about emptied the tank (W’ wise). But although I felt close to that, I think there was a wee bit more. I concentrated on upping the cadence in the 2nd block (9 mins) which …

[image] 90 min at 90% average (3x(3x10 at 85-90-95%)). Note that Leavitt +4 doesn’t actually exist in the TR library…I took Leavitt +3 and tacked on an extra 10 min each at 90 and 95%. Tacking on an extra 100 minutes of easy riding now to make it 3:30 for the day. +/- lifting after.

I usually take Recovery Week to the extreme (as in, I might do one workout), but I’ve got new motivations in my life, so I’m all in: [IMG_9656] [IMG_9657] [IMG_9655] I skipped WWDD but might still go for a -2 before the month is over. But this week wasn’t the week to try.

My first Vo2 after a 2.4% ftp bump. My Vo2 PL was reduced to 7.8 and I opted for an alternate workout at 7.9. I failed the third and fourth set although I am not sure if it’s part mental or physical or a more likely an element of each. Still I’m learning to suffer at a higher intensity for longer b…
