Frosty Posted June 23, 2021 Share # intervals #beatyesterday #garmin edit: last night wasn’t so bad. I actually enjoyed it (which means my FTP test probably yielded a lower figure than what I was capable of).

Jbr Posted June 23, 2021 Share Also had that kind of day, doing what I hate... intervals on the IDT. I actually didn't even finish... can't wait to go out again Patchelicious and Eddy Gordo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ouzo Posted June 23, 2021 Share just did a zone 2 cruise on the IDT yesterday. Don't want to push things just yet. Went for a Rapid COVID test yesterday and came back positive, so decided to go and get a lab test done to be sure, so don't really want to push things until I have the results. I don't have any symptoms, but 4 or 5 people that I work with tested positive, hence the test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like being outside.... I did a very good 8x4mins:2mins workout on sunday after 2 weeks at 630 TSS and now today on the IDT I can't do anywhere near the same power for 4 mins, despite it being only 3x4mins:3mins followed by 3 sets of 40:20s. It's crazy how I'm now unable to produce any power on that thing, when after lockdown it was the opposite... Edited June 23, 2021 by Jbr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like being outside.... i have similar issues. get psyched for some intervals that look OK on screen, get on the IDT that what power I had has fled my legs and the session gets worse, then my brain turns off and i shut it down. These sessions are worst when i still have to go and shower, so I'm really into quitting early on those days. Since I'm not paid to do this, why should it be a chore?

I actually didn't even finish... can't wait to go out again I struggle to get the intervals/sets done that are longer than 3 minutes with minimal recovery valleys, while also looking out for traffic on the road, at intersections, or both. Recovery/Endurance rides, like today, can be done. Add the darker hours earlier, plus the Tour from next week, and I'm conditioning myself to "enjoy" the trainer. Sucks big time, but I guess the benefits will outweigh the suffering. My goal for MalutiD90 (if it goes ahead in September), is to be No. 1, 2 or 3, and not 5, 6 or 7 in the team. Not need to suffer as much as the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinafrika Posted June 23, 2021 Share Me trusty ol' 'dale trail 2 is still up to LOADS of fun adventures. The Sacramento shipwreck coast today, on a day itching to wreck ships. And yes, bar ends are de rigeur for wrenching her and a 6'3" 99kg old geezer up those high-gradient, sandy coastal paths.

Actually not a bad thing in the long run, chat to Wendell. Balwin are incorporating the trail network and Wendell will have a more formalised venue area.
