Hello ladies, wondering if anyone is taking part in Sufferland this year. I am entering day 4 and feeling pretty good due to the advice from the famous and oh so smart Coach Patrick. If you are taking part, lets share how things are going down in here, so we can support each other with some serious mojo.

    Hi Brenda! I'm not doing sufferland, though I did just start riding on Zwift. Would be fun to connect with fellow EN teammates there, too! :-)

    I am interested in Zwift, but have a year membership with TR. That is something I am seriously considering for next year. You can always share your Zwift rides in here with the other ladies.

    I just finished Day 5 of Sufferland and I am not doing much suffering I am afraid. I was advised to ride at .90% of my FTP so I would not trash my legs, and it seems to be working.

    Day 1 - .85IF, Day 2 - .98/.98IF, Day 3 - .90IF, Day 4(recovery day) .77IF and today .88IF. Under carriage is feeling good, thanks to Stephanie Stevens suggestions. Not running or swimming, but probably could, but it is only day 5. Four more days to go and then I am back to OS at week 7.

    I always like suggestions, what did Stephanie suggest?

    Could you remind me again how you get to Sufferland workouts? I have a TR membership.

    Brenda, my IFs are similar to yours, but I am definitely feeling some deep fatigue.

    Day 1: IF 0.85
    Day 2: IF 0.96/0.89 (how in the hell did you do so well on that second one?)
    Day 3: IF 0.97
    Day 4: 0.77
    Day 5: 0.95
    Day 6: 0.91

    We will finish this thing yet! I really do need to figure out how to schedule a massage for Monday next week.

    Mary - I have issue every year with the under carriage. Asked if Stephanie had suggestions - she suggested lots of shammie creme, even if the ride was short, and it has been working.

    Yasko - openup TR and go to workouts, put in Sufferfest and you will see all the videos. Rides done up today are
    Islagiatt
    Revolver (done 2x)
    BTITW
    TGTTOS
    The Wretched
    The Rookie.

    Rest of the rides are:
    Do as You're Told
    AVDP + Nine Hammer; and for the finishing off, err I mean finishing rides.....
    Power Station + Vilator
