Making progress

Making progress

Ive been making some progress in the training. Moved from 8min intervals up to 10mins and did them at the same power as last weeks 8min so some supercompensation is taking place. I think Im a little lower than last year but not too much. Maybe 10W which isnt too bad.

Time has a tendency to stand still about halfway through these intervals. So much so that I have to rotate my watch out of sight so I cant look at the timer. Otherwise I look at it and then ride some more and look at it again and it hardly seems to have moved. I did 3 reps today. The first two were at a higher power than the last one. There is sort of a line in the sand. And I was standing across it on the first two but couldnt hang and dropped the power by 10W which is the smallest increment on my trainer.

In a few weeks Ill be moving into some more inseason type of work that will include butt kickers which are 8-12 mins of alternating intensities each minute. MSP one minute then SMSP the next. In the past Ive emphasized more the MSP, this time Im going to try and go for a higher SMSP and keep the MSP where Im at. Well see.

But for now Im going to keep with the program and just try to follow my workouts. Tomorrow Im going to get outside and do some MSP 8 min intervals on a hill somewhere and get out of the basement.

Its amazing how little time Im riding. I dont think Ive been on the bike longer than 1.5 hrs in over a month. But I bet you I could go out for a 2 hr ride at a decent pace and not have too much problem. Note that decent pass is a relative term.
Said it before and say it again. Morris plan is great for those w/o a lot of time who still want to ride well.
