Week 1 Overall Notes

Coach Patrick

I have had to adjust b/c of recent marathon and leaving for IMFL tomorrow to support M. So I did the 2 x 8' @ ;FTP + 20' at .85 today (more like .91), here's the data: 

Entire workout (246 watts):

    Duration:      52:52

    Work:          779 kJ

    TSS:           70.4 (intensity factor 0.894)

    Norm Power:    273

 

Funny how while I complained about my FTP dropping, I noticed today that my z3 is still at my old FTP. IOW, lots of solid z3 / .85 riding has made that very strong, it's just that without the high end work my FTP has dropped. Gives me hope for some solid results in 8 weeks next time we test.   Interested to hear how the rest of the week goes for other folks!

Good luck with the run test!

I attempted the run VDOT but pulled the plug at .75 mile due to left quad pain.... so ballparking that with old run stuff. I am not doing the bike either as I am doing my first mt bike race on Sunday and figger that the hard effort should count for something!!! so actually I haven't followed this week at all have I??!! haven't swam cuz honestly we have been shined on with nice weather so didn't want to be inside.... so have ridden mt bike or ran or taken a rest day this week and the next two days kids are outta school so maybe some hiking or other with them... and then Razorback game on Saturday and then race on Sunday of 9 miles!!
