AM: 12.5 miles, averaged 7:39. HR 148.
12x1k Subthreshold
Good session. I actually use power to pace these, and it's highly useful once you understand it. It's far more consistent than pace, especially on a 1-k loop. I used my estimate critical power and kept things just under that and the effort was perfect. I felt like I was doing work, but with 60" rest or less I was ready to go again and able to progress without pushing. 4:10, 4:08, 4:04, 4:03, 4:01, 4:01, 4:02, 4:04, 4:04, 4:02, 4:01, 3:58. HR 159 avg @ 369 watts.
Things are definitely progressing. I would like them to move a bit more quickly, but eventually things will really snowball. Several weeks of consistency. I am not getting in as much riding as I would like, but I guess there are just going to have to be some trade offs. When I do ride I am going to have to ride long and pretty steady, which is my preference anyway.
