VO2 Max work today. Legs and lungs felt good.

As I do most Wednesday's if its dry I take my Z2 workout outside and do a lap of Conington Airfield. The road is getting a bit broken up now but its virtually traffic free and its almost the ideal distanc for a Z2 workout in my lunch hour. Its started to brighten up as forecasted but I could have done with being an hour or two later 🙃

Lol, after doing my main workout outside today to free up my evening for listening to a football ⚽️ game, it was called off. So to fill the gap I fired up TrainerRoad's workout selector and as Id already trained today it gave me.

Low cadence strength endurance for me today. Milder, less windy and sunnier than yesterday‘s damp greyness.

An over/under threshold workout was in my calendar tonight but as seems to have been the story the last few years, I was a bit disappointed by my cadence and didn’t think I got it all out. I think I’ve come to the conclusion the house that I moved into a couple of years ago is just too warm. Or maybe I’m just getting old







Edit looking back, I was able to isolate the hall in the old rented flat and it had pretty rubbish storage heaters, it’d be an average of 11-13deg C in the pain corridor. The coldest I’ll get this house to is 16.5deg C when I leave the house for a few days with no heating on and when I am here the coldest I’ll get the pain hall to 18deg C 🥵

It was flooded this morning in a lot of places and raining, so whilst some of my group still went out, I stayed in bed and then went for a walk after breakfast. That let me keep the heating off and I managed to get the house temperature down to 18deg C so the pain hall was 16/17 Deg C. What a difference for the Anaerobic workout selected by TrainerRoad's AI work ou selector TrainNow. I do like those types of workout though the type 2 fun comes quickly in the long recoveries.

Edit: looking at the Intervals.icu analysis and W' of -0.01 it looks like I got everything out nicely.
