PM: 60' on the trainer. 184W. HR 155.
Struggled a bit today mentally but was better and worked on positive thinking and just trying to get small things done. So much to do that I am cognitively overloaded, which effectively renders me unable to do any of it. Seemed like a good day for an FTP test.
FTP Test = 275
First Interval = 308 watts @ 185 BMP
Second Interval = 306 watts @ 187 BPM
A decent result. I couldn't get the cadence and gearing right as I have the smart trainer programmed for my gravel casssette. The beauty of the machine is you can change gearing to whatever you want, so I can switch it to a 2 x road setup if I want. Most days it doesn't matter because I am in ERG mode, but I will remember this next time I do an FTP as I got burned through the first half of the first interval (Did the same thing last test when I had my gravel bike on their and the gearing is the same).
I was glad I hung on as I felt it would leave me feeling mentally accomplished.
Boys have switched to one nap, which sort of worked well during the first few days but has made night extremely rough. Wakeups and early wakeups and so on.
