The same, but better

I repeated last week's VO2 max workout. I didn't want to, but it was what the schedule said to do. I was tired, and just wanted to lay on the couch and eat M&Ms. But that won't make me faster, so I had to do the work. Once more, I set out for 6x3 minutes @ 330w.

And it was easier than last week.

I'm under-recovered from the races the past two weekends, and I've training right through, keeping high efforts up. I can feel it in my legs pretty much all the time, just a woodenness as opposed to any pain. But tonight felt much easier than last week's ride. Heart rate was a little higher (2.5 bpm average), but RPE was lower, and that's what counts. So the attic is probably a little bigger now.

Then I laid on the couch and ate M&Ms.

Bike: 65 minutes, w/6x3 min @ 330w, 5 minute recovery
