What workout did you do today? (2024)

:star_struck: Thanks! But don’t be too fooled by the output’s apparent smoothness; the chart does get smoothed. Here‘s the actual workout, otherwise, a section from the work interval beginning about 1h30’ in:

I now live 9km away from a closed circuit dedicated to cycling where I can do intervals.

Here's where I talked about my setup earlier in the year when I lived somewhere else & was able to do intervals up to 15 minutes on my local hill, which had traffic, but it comes with a caveat: TR staff do not recommend this type of setup, mostly because of the need to pay attention to traffic, safety first, etc… My thought about those workouts months ago is it was on a 5% grade so I was travelling slowly, lower speed limit, light traffic, courteous & more aware drivers generally doing no more than 40kph, & the road is a very common training route. Lower consequence. But I do agree it’s not great to be in the hurt box at 35-50 kph in traffic on a busy road with an 80kph limit whilst paying attention to yellow & green lines.
The ECG-like profile in the warmup & cooldown on yesterday’s ride are my commutes to/from the track. When commuting I ride more by RPE & treat their targets like a soft ceiling, then let it rip when I’m out of traffic.

Head unit is Lezyne Mega XL, which is currently not supported by TR. Not sure if I’d use it the intended way even if it was supported; the photographs of its interface from running a TP workout don’t show the next interval, & I like to know at least what’s coming next.
