- Proper warm up: at least 20min, get some short bursts to open the legs up (5X30sec high/low cadence low gear seated efforts), then a 5min all out effort to open up the legs followed by at least 7min easy spin before the first real interval
- 1X10min at 270W, 10min rest
- 2X5min at 290W with at least 7min rest in between, then 10min recovery after the second one
- then do another 10min at 270W
- cool down
I'm assuming this is a blow out warm up effort:

Good job with the rest effort. Ideally, you should have very little to no pressure on the pedals during the recovery periods. The more you recover, the better you can go on the next interval.

So, now you know! You HAMMERED this...especially at the end of your intervals. Very impressive. You're definitely getting stronger. It's beautiful to watch you respond so positively to some basic interval work...sometimes it's the most basic things that give us the best results. Way to go Albert.

You don't have to tell me what was going on because I can guess...but keep what ever inspired you to get angry for this almost 2min effort in the frontal lobe area of your mind and heart. Draw upon it at the next race when you need it. We'll just call this your "Special Place!"

Entire ride (180w):
Duration: 2:18:49
Work: 1478 kJ
TSS: 193.9 (intensity factor 0.922) ==> so according to my nifty little chart (page 130 in the power book), a 194 TSS score means that over all this was a "medium" effort ride, well because it doesn't really account for the RPE of the efforts you put in...it just averages stress with recovery to come up with a number...more or less. anyway, according to the book you can expect "some residual fatigue over the next day, but recovery is generally complete by the second day.) Your IF score of 0.92 means that over all, you worked your LT system effectively, which is equivalent to about a 2.5hr road race. With this in mind, you should spin easy on Friday to aid recovery so you're ready to rip legs off on Saturday.

Last but not least, I've created a running 28-day chart to keep track of KJ expenditure, power/weight and power. I want to make sure you don't lose too much weight so that your power suffers. An alarm will go off if I start seeing more than a 10-15% decrease in your average power (look at the general gap between the green and orange lines). If that happens, you'll be going to Sizzler for a 19oz steak with all you can graze salad bar and ice cream.
