Everesting Week 19

Monday TrainerRoad, no name recovery ride. I picked up a Tacx Smart Trainer online, this was the first ride with it. Just an easy 45 minutes getting used to. I forgot to turn off the GPS hence the map. Jury is still out and as I don’t want to mess with my training so I will be putting it to one side until the Everesting ride is over and going back to my faithful Kurt Kinetic Road Machine

Tuesday, Another recovery ride, just listening to my body. First half was on Bushido second back on Road Machine. Jury is still out.

and

Legs back to 90%. Had a Zwift moment on a climb during te second half other than that just got it done. Townsend consists simply of 1.5 hours of Aerobic Endurance spent between 60-70% FTP. Givens -1 is two sets of 3x2.5-minute VO2 Max repeats at 122%FTP. 2.5 minutes of recovery falls between Intervals and 8 minutes of easy spinning separates the sets.

Thursday, TrainerRoad Kaiser. Late start. Started off ok but soon realized legs didn't have it, rode as well as I could, second interval stopped for bedtime so had to get HR back up to continue. Usual `5 min warm up beforehand. Kaiser +1 is 2 sets of 3x3-minute VO2 Max repeats at 122% FTP with 3-minute recoveries between intervals & 6 minutes between sets.

Friday, off

Saturday, TrainerRoad Whiteside-2. Solid set, still can't quite hit the highs but happy with the overall consistency. Whiteside -2 is 5x20 Sweet Spot repeats at 85% FTP each separated by 5 minutes of active recover. 50+ miles w/ @MUN for his Sufferfest Knighthood
