Cycling Workouts: Discussion/Encouragement/Sharing/Banter

[HLaB]

First workout in a while after taking a break over Christmas. Nothing major to start me back, the scheduled Endurance ride in my plan, Bald -2. I had time last night to do the then scheduled Anaerobic workout, as I was still off work, but after a break and a 6h drive, I thought that might have been a step too far.

Tonight (Bald -2) I tried to keep a higher cadence for a change which might be why hr averaged nearly 70% on a recovery ride. Or it could be I’m unfit. The trainer/ERG seemed to drop the resistance on the 2nd long interval, so I started playing with my cadence more.

Generated a bit of heat on tonight's VO2max workout (Morena). Although Garmin think it had more of an anaerobic workout. Maybe it was because some of the longer intervals were more threshold on average, with dips into VO2max 🤔

Interestingly (well to me anyway), it consistently appears I'm ever so slightly left sided. I thought I'd be ever so slightly right sided and it was just a sore right ankle but that settled down over Christmas.
