Got out for a nice steady ride after work on another nice evening, 53k.
Then, maybe one for the rant thread but my power meter that I only charged earlier in the week thinks I put out 853W AP it doesnāt normally need calibrating so hope it isnāt on the fritz as I doubt itās under warranty.
So of course Garmin & Strava think Iāve put in some monster effort despite my HR firmly being in Z1
Set out to do 3 x 2km, but target pace was obvs a tad optimistic.
Was running neg split kms in the reps but blew on the last rep, so bailed on the final 1km. Sat down, had a word with myself and ran a hard 500m to finish things.
So so far from where I was 2 years ago or so. Guess a bit of patience is required in your 40s! Deffo not my forte!
Even used the vapors to try to protect the legs a bit. But this lower leg thing really needs sorting - left foot totally numb again. Not ideal!
Better week than I expected in the end due to the failed blood donations, about 9.5 hours.
All at an easy\steady pace except for the Zwift race which wasnāt quite flat out.
Couple of rides outside which meant nearly 5 hours of cycling. About 3.5 of running with today, and 3 token effort swims.
Hopefully get a bit more in this week, have to take my last day of A\L before Friday but might see about 2 half days and get the bike out for an afternoon.
Iāve had an entire week off - absolutely nothing in the last seven days. I did do two days of gruelling diy and a bit of walking here and there but I havenāt looked at the Garmin and Strava once. Genuinely enjoyed it. One last evening off then out for a run tomorrow I think.
