Hello again, I’m a relative newcomer. Been plodding on with my <75% heart rate training. I notice that my legs fatigue while my heart and lungs aren’t particularly taxed. This has always been the case, and I’m assuming it’s because my legs are generally pretty weak. I tend to spin on the bike, which suits me.
It can be many things, without knowing your training schedule/history I’d assume you just need to build volume slowly over time, then by to dice some tempo and interval runs. Also, make sure your bike and run a sessions are spaced and easy enough so that the quality of the workouts are minimally affected.
Eg if I do hard intervals on the bike at 08:00 it’s likely to affect my easy run at 19:00. But if I put 24hrs between them it won’t.
First actual outdoor ride in 3 or 4 weeks and other than my 4 miles commuting each day, no riding during the same time. Just haven’t felt the mojo and also had a cold for the last two weeks. Wasn’t expecting much, but FML, that was hard. 40 miles with a couple of hills. Time to get back onto Zwift a couple of times a week.
I excelled myself yesterday
Started the Glasto watching and beer drinking at 5pm.
Managed 9 x 330ml Brewdogs, including 3 Elvis Juice’s.
My toast at 7am really wanted to see daylight again.
Two coffees later and I’m out at 0830 to meet the club for some hills
Managed to do all three monsters, for 238W NP, then my head unit died and had to flick to my watch.
Sat on the front feeling very sorry for myself on the way back.
Sacked off the 5km brick run
Kendrick Lamar tonight, doesn’t bode well for tomorrows swim
I thought I would try and see how the covid recovery is going - not good.
HR hit 222 according to my chest strap - readings were so high I thought it wasn’t close to being right so took it off and went off the wrist monitor. Average HR 184 for average pace 5:34m/km
