Subject: RE: 8.4.2020 - Tuesday Workouts I have a super-secret training plan LOL. Actually, I do have an agreement (as with all my coach's athletes ) that I won't post exact workouts on social media. Have been training pretty consistently (if only for lack of many other things to do--travel, hiking, and other distractions have been rendered pretty much undoable either by family situation or local restrictions ) but mainly just working toward some online challenges with my tri club.
Today though I did a notably strenuous ride which resulted in my breaking personal records for both 5-second and one-hour power. (Primarily a total of 40, yes, FORTY, 30-second repeats at way above FTP with equal recovery, in 4 sets with a little extra in between ). I don't feel like repeating that experience for quite some time, if ever, and don't advise anyone to try it at home unless you have a very powerful fan and are very sure you have no underlying medical conditions.
Next time I sign up for challenges I will just do endurance and swimming ones, I think! It just seems wrong to bike at puke intensity (NP was about 5 watts over the average for my best Oly ) for over an hour and not even BE in a race, much less get a finisher's T-shirt or age-group award!
