He messaged me about it. Was still struggling. We talked through his workout graphs and determined that he was still focused too much on power, so we talked about reducing the power target and sustaining the high cadence.
I’ve had three athletes who’ve done VO2 blocks that all wanted to maintain power and drop cadence to make it “easier” and I had to tell them all the same thing… flip it… drop the power, keep the cadence high.
