Looks good to me! Well done!!

rainy-day easy endurance, 1 hr 20 min - there was some HR decoupling at the end which is surprising to me, but I didn’t drink anything so maybe that’s it.

Sprint-threshold-sprint*
That first interval was way more difficult than I expected. Guess I should have warmed up more.

Train Now workout. Super-threshold/VO2 5x5. Felt relatively easy, PLs didn’t decay as much as TR thinks. VO2max went up by a watt since last time Garmin graced me with an estimate.

Abbey was in my calendar tonight. I think it went OK I never had to dig deep and I was happier with my cadence at times.

A 90 minutes workout was in my calendar tonight but I wanted to give my self time to wind down before bed (Ive an early start) so I swapped it with Alternates for the hour long Kennedy -2.
I had to dig deep a few times but I was a little bit more satisfied with the cadence (its still too low though)
Oh and I made 2 mistakes, I forgot to put my old broken frame glasses and head band on and didn’t notice until the warm up and I had trapped my self in/ set up the pain corridor.

Fang Mountain +2 - TrainerRoad + 15’ Z2
Last week treshold WO was Keith -2 - TrainerRoad (5.0) had me almost bail out.
Today was a 4.8 after +5W FTP increase (262 to 267) and it felt way easier. Never doubted completion.
I still believe that what I need is to increase TTE.
But it is hard to reject a FTP increase, even touhg I said a would…

Rocher is part of my plan made by Planbuilder. A stretch. When I finished I got AI FTP detection. “Your FTP was 260 and still is 260. 0% increase”. 
What kind of motivation is that? “You did a stretch and almost fell off the bike and gained nothing”

Did “Truuli -2” today as an opener for tomorrow’s Rad Dirt Fest. I’ve been experimenting with different openers that TR offers (started with Laurel, then Truuli -1, now -2). I think I’ve found the one that suites me the best. Yes, the least intensive and also the shortest. But it finally matches the main requirement for this type of workout - I feel better after it, than I did before. Stoked to push it hard tomorrow!

Custom 3-hour workout between 65-75% FTP. Required some concentration during the last 30-45minutes as HR started to decouple. 5.5% decoupling by the end. Interesting that it started during the easiest interval and makes me wonder if it would have happened if I had done 75% instead of 65%. Also fell behind on carbs a little so that may have contributed. Now off to kiddo soccer.

I usually find that it just starts at 2 hours plus or minus 10 minutes, regardless of effort.

Smith -1 is 5x10-minute intervals that hover very close to your Functional Threshold Power, between 96-102% FTP.
Recoveries between intervals are 3 minutes long.
This was a “train now” workout. It felt fine. For the time being, I have a nice flat safe road that fits these 10-minute intervals perfectly.

4x 5 min VO2max
That went about as well as expected. 
Not sure why JOIN gave me 5-min VO2 intervals, even if at 115%, when I’ve not had anything longer than about 2-min over the previous 12 weeks.

Doing the workout using the head unit instead of the workout player makes the workout more doable. Also using resistance mode instead of ERG for intervals 2-4 helps
(This was 5x4min)

I think I have a burn-out period in my life because I can’t create, I can’t work out, I just want to sleep!
Its maybe the quality (or lack of to be precise) of my Elite Suito and my FTP not being big enough (so a small % change is a lot of watts to me) but I found ERG would bite away at me. So I switched to resistance mode. What was a pretty consistent cadence pre ERG has dropped too and is more of a grind in intervals and I was hoping that would come back after switching to resistance but it hasn’t. Perhaps my old Elite Muin (fluid resistance) was more conducive to a good cadence than the electronic resistance
