97? 95? Ughh

Tuesday, April 16, 2024 by Chris

A week off on holiday, combined with a a fairly lacklustre Quarter 1 did not bode well for completing an SST session. Certainly not at 100% FTP (which I think I am quite a bit below now). But in traditional Chris fashion, I over estimated my abilities – a bit like my previous run – … Read more
