For the first time in around 3 years I have had a run of riding without any injuries.
However my speed had stagnated at around 13.5mph - over a 26 mile loop.
Anyway last night I decided to really up the effort. Every hill I was out of the saddle powering over the hills - I felt great !
The ride was faster up to 14.8 - but looking at my HRM stats from Garmin connect - my average HR was up and I spent around 50% in Garmin zone 5.
So I wondering am I getting fitter -or have I just tried harder.?
My thinking is I wouldn't have been able to tackle those hills in the way I did last night - back in Jan / Feb.
Thoughts ?
