It was a take it easy day today. Though I wanted to push a little harder than usual as mentally I don’t need the recovery, but physically I was concerned about the right knee pain. Over the weekend I found the pain only came on after 45 to 60 minutes, so given I only have 60 minutes on a week day, I figured I’d be fine.
And I was. So that’s good news.
Rather than go for the usual FTP Builder ride, I opted for a Pace Partner session with Coco on Tempus Fugit. Ahh to be able to ride at 40kph at 2.8w/kg out in the real world.
The first 30 minutes went fast enough, but the second thirty felt like a real drag. I need to vary it up a bit for sure.
With that in mind I want to do the Workout of the Week tomorrow. Zwift have that down as a 4 out 5 in terms of intensity, which is the same as an SST session. It does look quite full on. I’m going to give it a go, and any knee issues I will pull out and do something else. No point risking that.
I was a bit disappointed not to get a chance to ride the Halloween themed stuff this year. I think I missed it last year, too. I did try this year, but didn’t realise (until late yesterday) that the only way to see the costumes was to do the specific Pace Partner rides. That’s a bit … meh?
Anyway, keeping the Halloween theme going, today I did finally notice my ghost rider.
At first I thought it was a bug, but then when my ghost passed me I clocked on what was happening. Pretty cool. I’m looking forward to putting that properly to the test on something a bit more challenging.
But that’s me for today.
