just back from first physio for neck and back , first thing she said was i have at least a grade 3 ac tear on shoulder - lucky me ! scan next week hopefully , she has already said it is an operation
thought it hurt - but i don't like to moan

Pretty serious Lee! Hope it's not too long a recovery.
I'm at physio tomorrow for what are minor niggles. Hoping she can massage away and give me some exercises to keep them at bay

No wonder you're riding so slowly at the moment Hate to see your speeds when you're fully fit

Sorry tonight @rob01792 for not riding with you on Zwift. I was doing one of their training sessions for a change of scene. First plan I tried I had to bail after a couple of minutes .... after the warmup it was trying to get me to push 800 watts I know I have a BKool Pro but come on .... even with the aid of the Pro that's a tall order.

I ended up doing the 'Wringer' session. 30 second sprints at 500 watts followed by 120 watts rests. Quite enjoyed it. Pity it only lasted 35 mins, could have gone on another 10 mins Might check out a few more of these plans and see if I can improve my FTP a bit

No doubt you'll smash the epic KOM within a few days of your op

Did a TrainerRoad session holding 265 watts for 6 minutes x 6 erg mode wouldn't release on the second to last interval, so what should of been a rest at 100 ish watts i was pushing 265 watts so called it a night and finish it off tomorrow

I tend to ramp up the speed from Admiralty Arch and watch for the counter to start on the left to indicate the sprint has started. I think the trick to that sprint is to build up a good speed going into it, at least I need to on the Pro as there is a lag from turbo to speed increasing.

How you finding the Neo? More difficult than the Pro?

There is a 3 sisters route for you Lee. Smash it up the pretzel and the volcano loop. I expect you to smash mine and everyone's else's times in a race.

Resting tomorrow then back to finishing TR.
