PM: 90' on Zwift. HR 122.

Mileage off as I was in rider's choice mode, but the world was hilly and slow, so elevation and pace weren't even close. Nice easy 90' though.

PM: 62' on TrainerRoad + Zwift. HR 154 (TrainerRoad).

Tried to do a 20' FTP test, which is basically an extremely hard 20' time trial. I got cooked at 12'. My heart rate for 9' was between 180-188, with several minutes between 183-188. Pulled out early as I was dying and cooled down 20' on Watopia in Zwift.

Carter, which was 65%-75% of FTP. FTP updated yesterday from 224 to 259, which I think will be a better, more accurate number to work with.

PM: 10.3 miles, averaged 9:45. HR 144.

Felt quite good. After 4 or 5 miles I wanted to go longer, but 10 was plenty. I think I am going to switch back to double on Thursdays and Sundays (my two run, non-cycling days) to help keep my mileage up while recovering from riding. 30-40 miles a week doesn't seem like much but my overall cycling time is increasing from 4ish hours to about 6 or so. Currently around 9 hours between two sports. This summer I peaked at 20 hours, which was kind of nuts, but I was just having fun.

PM: 70' on TrainerRoad. HR 148.

Did Carson, which was 6 x 6-7 minutes @ 85-95% of FTP. Basically it was around the effort of a set of mile repeats done at maybe 90% with 2' recoveries. It's a really productive workout when you only have an hour. I wasn't enthused by the 2' cool down, so I added an extra 10'.

Running day tomorrow. I feel like I have a good pattern going, though I would like my running mileage to be at least 50 or 60, but you cannot do it all. 30-40 with cycling hours seems sustainable.

PM: 90' on TrainerRoad (Tunemah). HRM battery quit.

Over-unders. Couldn't really get settled and relaxed. Workout was quite tough.

We went to Toledo to see my borther-in-law's basketball game and had a good dinner.

Megan and I hung out at her uncle's and then we went to see Megan's other brother, sister-in-law, and the kids.
