I’m trying squeezing my workout at lunch time to hopefully sleep better at night. To do so I used ‘Alternatives’ to select a 45min workout equivalent to the original 1h workout scheduled. It wasn’t the best prep a 6h drive the day before and a bit of overnight rest day DOMs which saw some of the Z5 intervals Z4 but hopefully it works in future

Today it was -4.5 centigrade in my shed 
I did the “Jack Frost custom” version of Perkins.
It is 1h38’42" long and it ends very abruptly - when your ipad, that is plugged in, but can’t charge as it is too cold, runs out of juice!
I don’t recommend this workout.
Or, on days like today, my shed.

Day 2 of me doing my workout at lunchtime
to hopefully improve sleeping at night and it seemed to go ok. I had an under over session today. The first two blocks were about where I would like them cadence wise (although maybe I could still go higher), the last block was a wee bit low. Although the first block of cadence was assisted by the Suito in ERG dropping the resistance target in the last over for some reason and I had to spin at a higher cadence to get back on target

How did you sleep last night, after the first of the lunch time workouts?
About the same as normal (tends to be OK until 2-3 am then I wake up with DOMS and tend to toss and turn a fair bit) but it was probably too early to say, I did wake naturally for work which helps.

Ouch! Yeah that’s cold enough. I’m sure there’s some heat coming off the trainer, but I guess if you put the ipad there you can’t see its screen.

Conness (Z2 L5.6) today, after swapping out the shorter, higher intensity Lachat (also Z2 L5.6).
I had the usual dripping sweat all over the screen, causing the phone to think I was touching it.
It looked easy enough to memorise targets & approx durations so I turned the screen off, went by my head unit, & listened for the tones to guide interval start/finish, just flicking it on once in a while to see how I was tracking. Couldn’t work out why I was over target on the third of the lower work periods, until most of the way through I saw it was 60%, not the 65% I presumed. 
Ah well, a bit extra work done.

Garrard
Surprise was on my calendar for tomorrow but I can’t ride due to kiddo activities but I found two hours today to ride. Interestingly TR did not have an Alternate but Garrard looked really close.
I kept the gas on during the cool down to complete the Zwift climb portal climb. Other than the warmup, the whole ride was ‘high Z2.’

I did some flow trails with my son, then TT’d back up to the car solo. @Jonathan this is the last climb on Peaks
