Is that triggered by pollen like hay fever?
I have been sniffling and wheezing for about a month now. I thought that I was coming down with a cold but nothing more than a runny nose and a sore throat has developed. Very odd! I might even have a mild dose of Covid? I have caught it a few times and am up to date with the jabs so I probably have enough immunity to keep any further infections mild.
Despite that, I (just) exceeded 2.5 W/kg ftp (198 W) yesterday evening, for the first time. I hadn't been trying to do it but I had a crosswind on the 4 km drag from Todmorden to Portsmouth, followed by a stiff climb up to Sourhall and must have made enough effort to improve my ftp PB.
I am still still slowly losing weight towards my target of 73 kg. I only have about 6 kg to go. When I get there my ftp would be 2.71 W/kg even if my power hadn't improved. Still a huge chasm between that and my goal of about 3.8 W/kg though! At my age and with my health history, I suspect that I won't ever get there, but it will be fun trying.
Now all I need is some bad weather to force me back onto the Victory trainer to check out MyWhoosh!

I was feeling somewhat under the weather on Tuesday but decided to do a relatively hard workout anyway. Came back to haunt me as the exhaustion probably amplified the illness. Had two days with no riding at all and will only try a short pootle today. I never learn
