Today I did Murder +4.
Did I say Murder? I meant Matthes +4. What a beast.

I did Jepson today, I wasnât sure if I should or not because I didnât feel to great yesterday. I really wanted to conduct a little study on spindown time and resistance unit temperature for my KK Road Machine so I went for it and I am glad that I did. I have been feeling great ever since.

My first workout of SusPow Build â Mills +3.
Think I found my personal VO2max: 125%.
I did the middle 4 intervals @105%, which felt like VO2max should feel â hard!
That said, I totally blew the next interval, which means ~120% is probably my repeatable power.

Completed Kaiser this morning, feels like a confirmation that all the previous workouts were worth it.
At a few moments in the last 20 seconds of the interval I couldnât really keep the cadence above 100.
But figured it was better to go to 95/90 cadence rather than adjusting the intensity down to keep the 100.

Jepson today
I did most of the main sets without changing gears for the sprints⌠I should probably be shifting after the initial surge to keep the watts on target at a cadence that isnât above 110-115.

Did antelope yesterday (part of SSB1 HV), felt pretty good, HR not surpassing 160. My TSB went to -11, with CX season my CTL has hovered in the low 50âs with positive TSB, since I wasnât really focused on high volume training. Iâve said it elsewhere, but whenever Iâve been testing lately my FTP would be 260-265, but Iâve had my FTP set at 275 the entire year, and Iâm getting through these sweet spot workouts (albeit early in the plan) with no problem, so I feel kind of validated in this kind of approach of setting aside the test results and go with what really works for the type of workouts Iâm doing.

Itâs been a disappointing week for me 
I decided to really killed it on Sunday at the gym⌠My lactic acid is going crazy even at sweetspot, plus I was deathly sore on Monday and Tuesday.

Must have been one hell of a gym session to be destroyed for a week haha.
I get terrible doms from legwork as well but not that I am not able to cycle for a week

Reinstein week 1, now that was a good one. That last under/over was tough, but made it through it.
Pettit for me today, first big sweet spot weekend ahead of me (although last weekend I did do a CX race and 2hr endurance ride on Saturday and Wright Peak -2 on Sunday, so thatâs only like half true)
Tunemah. Fueled it much better than Reinstein last week, nailed it and was gassed at the end.
AM â Dans
PM â Fang Mountain +3
Second workout in my first Build phaseâŚtotally under-fueled it; a 2hr ride is not the same as a 2hr workout.
Did 3/6 intervals then crashed in the 4th. Turned the rest into an Endurance ride. Was this close to passing out at the end, but legs feel like they should after a hard workout.
I still think over/unders and a fanging pain in the fang.

Thatâs not for winning but for trying for 5 years!!!
Pettit for the 3rd time this week. End of Trad Base LV I and new ramp test on Monday
Thank you. I do SSB every off season so I can get a crack at Leconte and Mary.
Somebody shout at me! I should be riding Tunemah, yet here I am, sitting on my ass and surfing the Internet
