AM/Lunch: 3 hours on the trainer. 197W. HR 126. 

3 x 20' LT1 + 3 x 12' Sweet Spot

Solid long ride with some quality aerobic work. I warmed up about an hour, thinking I would do a 20' test or a 60' test, but then thought better of it. 

LT1 Intervals: 203W @ 123 BPM @ 1.4 mmols, 210W @ 124 BPM @ 1.4 mmols, 214W @ 132 BPM @ 1.6 mmols; 

These numbers were solid improvements even from last week. 

Sweet Spot Intervals: 255W @ 148 BPM @ 2.7 mmols, 257W @ 152 BPM @ 2.0 mmols, 261W @ 154 BPM @ 2.3 mmols

Again, very solid improvements from last week when I averaged something around the low 240s at higher HR and lactate.

I took in 350g of carbs and felt fine.

AM: 60' on the trainer. 131W. HR 96.

+ 35' sauna. HR 86.

Might not have had the sauna warm enough, but HR rose around 20' and really started to increase around 30'.
