Training Effect

I had a hard race last Sunday. I was pretty tired and although I finshed well back, I worked it pretty hard. Took Monday off and did more fitness intervals Tuesday morning. I was surprised that I hit my target wattage with ease and even reduced recovery time between the 4 minute intervals by a few seconds. My HR was coming down nicely during the rest periods. Did 7 intervals without much trouble. That was encouraging. TSS of around 80 for the whole workout.

Wednesday did a moderate workout and today did some VO2 max intervals in a descending fashion. 3, 3, 2, 2, and 1 minute intervals with equal length rest periods in between. Wattage could have been higher but it was in between my cp 12 to cp 6 range of average power so I think it was a good session.

We will be back at Jefferson Barracks on Sunday. It should be fun. Let's hope the weather holds out!
