Another good day - fixed ride, podcasts and turbos

Another good day yesterday. Weather grey but still good enough to go for a 50km ride on my fixed bike. Aim was just to take things easy as turbo session planned for the evening. So listened to some of the tri-talk podcasts I downloaded.


They turned out to be pretty good. Yes there was some advertising but the host David Warden is very open about what is advertising and comes across first and foremost as a keen enthusiast who wants to share his experience.


Came home not too tired and later in the day did a very good turbo workout with NRC. Still on the 4minute work intervals big ring 7>1 rear. Now down to 1:30 rest. I put in a very good series of intervals
G7 243W HR130-162 Avg 153
G6 264W HR134-166 Avg 158
G5 291W HR140-171 Avg 164
G4 301W HR138-174 Avg 165
G3 307W HR148-175 Avg 169
G2 317W HR146-176 Avg 169
G1 327W HR143-182 Avg 171


On all but the last I kept breathing nice and easy to keep this an aerobic session (on last I gave it a bit in the last 30 secs) and comfortably held and slowly raised the power through each interval. Resultant graph looks pretty nice. Next week is a rest week (and my sons 18th birthday) so will be taking it easy and miss turbo. Will be interesting to see how I fare the week after when rest will be down to 30 secs.
