Just 90 mins on the treadmill today. Want to have at least something in the legs for Blenheim at the weekend. Might even have a day off tomorrow

Possibly had my most feeble ever session this evening. Not even going on Strava. First session in 3 days after long workdays Monday Tuesday Wednesday.

Got in the treadmill with good intentions.

Ran 1.25km at 0% in 5 minutes.

Stopped.

Got back on.

Ran 300m in around 90 seconds.

Stopped.

Thought nah.

Had a beer.

So you ran 1.25km at 4 min/km stopped (not surprised) and then ran 300m at 5 min/km?

Is my maths correct and did you warm-up or straight into the 4min/km pace?

Yeah, straight in at 16kmh, plan was to thrash out the day’s frustrations but barely scratched the surface. The beer helped more :beer_mug:

Mixed day of training, finished work early so about 35 minutes between arm cycle, rowing, swimming at the gym.

Then decided to do the Zwift race, mostly just for bonus XP, hung around to the end but didn’t make much effort for the sprint. AP was 250W but quite a few sustained spikes.

Then decided to go and do the Club 10, I knew it would be windy AF but was keen to support it as there’s been low numbers and I think it will get binned next year unfortunately.

Was feeling pretty tired and just did it on the road bike with standard kit. Pushed hard into the tailwind on the way out but ran out of gears on some of the return leg.

Time was a pretty slow 27:50, but power meter reckons 300W bang on :thinking: that feels a bit high but I am frazzled ATM, although I often go better if I’ve had a leg stretch earlier :man_shrugging:

Don’t think these 2 rides are eligible for the hour of power given there was a 2 hour transition :joy:

Can’t see me cycling much for a week as we’re away, I’ve put it in the boot but depends if I can get an hour or so one evening.

Not sure you can adjust that calc for hilly course - there is an incline function but I guess that is for a constant uphill?

Fun to play around with though :+1:

True but it looked pretty flat. I think the wind is more of an issue that would make it off.

I would have thought about 38 kmph for 300w without taking the 16+km/h wind into account.

I might go and do some testing the weekend, I had forgot about this calculator.
