Max heart rate is dropping for the workouts I am doing. Tempted to move to the next phase early but will hold on before FTP retest. Good to see lower heart rates for the same power. Moving in right direction.
I didn’t know till early Tuesday morning that I’ve been fighting off a bug. That explains why Monday’s sweet spot 1.5hrs was really hard. An hour of sweet spot this evening and I coped quite well.
I've been working considerably harder than I usually do over the winter. Using training sessions on zwift, including the ftp builder, and some group events. I've been working consistently as well, which I'm pleased with, compared with my normal seesaw efforts. My choked nose is largely gone, but I still haven't retested my ftp. After overeating at Christmas the weight has finally begun to shift as well- I've lost a kilo. Feeling a bit weary, slightly heavy legs, possibly not helped by running a calorie deficit. Certainly a different approach, which hopefully will translate well into picking up my outdoor work as spring arrives.
Stress + recovery = fitness
