Tough Ride

7/9/2018

I had a tough ride this morning.  I tried my best to stay with the workout but I think the anaerobic intervals was just a bit too much for me right now.  I did have pain in the knee and didn't want to push through it.  The workout included 4 x 30 seconds @ 130% FTP interval followed by a 2 minute increase to 150% FTP.  I wasn't able to stay sitting during the increase in power during the last two intervals and had to stand to make it through.  After completing these 4 intervals I had a 7 minute rest period at 50% power before starting the next set of four anaerobic intervals.  This set was set for 2 minutes each with a 2 minute recovery.  The intervals were set for 150%, 145%, 135%, and 135% FTP.  I wasn't able to make it through the seconds set of intervals.  Here is what power output looked like.  It wasn't worth the effort to push through the workout.

I then headed out for my normal 2.5 mile walk.  It felt good however I did have a few twinges in the knee.  I listened to a podcast by triathlon taren interviewing Matt Chrabot.  I did end up walking a little faster than I intended at a 15:42 pace, but I don't really pay attention to pace.

Happy Training Everyone.

Testimonies

A big shout out to David Boyer. Since starting my work with David, I have improved in all areas. I thought running two races in two days this weekend would be a challenge. David gave me a plan (which I tried to follow) and I actually felt stronger on day two on a longer more difficult course. But for some goggle/contact lens issues during the swim, I might have gotten on the podium. Still have a lot of work to do before IM Florida but this weekend has given me a boost in confidence. Thanks Coach!

...my coach David Boyer who is not only a Great coach, but a Godly person who texts me scriptures of encouragement at 4:30 in the morning before the race because he knows I've been up stressing about the swim! Thanks to you all I forever grateful!!!

Love Tri_More_Fitness coaching!!! just got an unexpected race day report breaking down the good, the not so good and the just plain ugly (ah, it wasn't that bad) LOVE getting great, solid, very detailed and constructive feedback. Totally looking forward to continuing to grow in the sport...so much room for growth and progress. My only problem is I want that progress like right now, immediately.
