Zwift Academy 2023 – Workout #5: Long | Steady State

I’m off today as it’s my birthday and I didn’t fancy a repeat of my horrendous 40th birthday last year. That one sucked so bad I’ve decided to never work my birthday again. What that meant is I’ve basically done nothing all day. Just had a guilt free day off. It also does mean I’m … Read more
