Over the last few weeks I have been trying to do something slightly different with my SST sessions. Rather than doing all the blocks at 95rpm, I have been trying to do the harder blocks at a lower cadence.
Typically I forget to do that during the first block, but then remember and push on through for the remaining two or three blocks.
Today, I remembered as usual. About mid way through the first block.
But I didn’t have it within me to do the low cadence stuff today. Not even close. I was struggling to get through the blocks at the higher cadence where I am vastly more comfortable.
I can’t work out why I am so physically tired.
As soon as I set off today I knew it was going to be a struggle.
I gave myself a free pass on not doing the low cadence stuff. I have the FTP Test coming up either this week or next and was thinking I don’t want to go crazy on myself before then. Heck, I was thinking about that test during this ride, and just two minutes in at 230w I was thinking how I might be feeling sustaining that pace for another 18 minutes.
Yikes.
I don’t get it. I really don’t.
I’ve lost sooo much form this year.
About the only saving grace is I feel like I am slowly, very slowly gaining it back.
Well, at least I got through it.
Oh, and off the bike, I finally got around to adding the Climb Portal data to the Zwift Climbing Difficulty page.
