I’m pretty much close to you Alex, I’m 57 this year
excellent video, I have to agree I have become a slave of metrics over the years, it’s always like “oh man, you are 3W below the target, push it, crank those pedals man!!!”. Yep, it’s a psychological condition. Once you get high in FTP it becomes so valueable bc of the time you spent on it that you cannot agree it goes down and you are not that fast anymore…
I’m on this plan at the moment, week 6 currently. I usually modify/simplify it in TP adding Z2 interval to match the route so it looks usually like MS + ~30 min of Z2.
Yesterday I made VO2 max crunched #7 and despite of the fact I have modifieid it extending recoveries up to 3 min and adding longer recovery after 3rd interval, I blew up on the last interval. Here’s the workout data
I will look into CP and W’, this is very interesting idea indeed to understand if you are capable of doing it till the end. Could you pls share some explanation of how to understand this red line?
UPD: link is given will look deeper into it and revert.
