Tonight's ride was another trip with Coach Troy, this time the threshold test which I first performed about seven weeks ago. I went through the numbers from last time and set up what I believed to be appropriate targets. Everything was going pretty well through the first part of the workout, and even through the initial part of the main set (20 minutes all-out). But pretty much right after I passed the 10 minute mark (averaging 325w), I was on Empty. Everything just shut down. It wasn't a gradual decrease, I just lost the ability to turn the pedals with any strength. I took about 60-90 seconds soft-pedaling, then went back at it, but could only get up to 280-300w. Even though my heart rate was low, I couldn't dig any more out of my legs. I got crushed. My final average wattage was ~300w, but it should have been much higher.
Run: 2.5 miles, ez
Bike: Spinervals 27.0 - Threshold Test and Sufferfest, 60 minutes (Test: 300.2w average)
