4x8's at about 105-110% (recovery 1' between sets)?

they are quick and not too tiring

Something is wrong here. I do 6x7 at my 20minute FTP with 5' recovery. It's sheer hell and requires a significant amount of mental preparation and HTFU to get through. I'm pretty wrecked by the end of it.

Hideous intervals on Saturday celebrated with dinner out and hungover SS ride on Sunday. Woke early this morning, BBC weather app stated the rain would hold off so did 2hr base ride during which I got utterly soaked and was nearly killed by a kamikaze tipper lorry that luckily decided that forcing the oncoming car into the verge was preferable to crushing me. This is a refreshing change that I put down to the awesome lumenz pumped out by my new Lupine Rotlicht.

Not sure of the point of narrow wide on a cog but it's light and I couldn't resist the cnc drillium. NB attachment fail

Slopestyle 4x 29er? It has a whiff of Russian to me. Don't think Moots ever did taper HT nor down tube cabling or larger than 27.2mm seatposts?

Recovery regime after final hard ride of tough week - have minor RTA in car, wait around for 3hrs getting cold, hungry and dehydrated. Get home and go to bed on 2 large whiskies to warm up.

Doesn't work - at all.

Fat burns in the flame of carbohydrate. Which is why when you bonk it's everything not just higher zones.

Dont get fasted riding - I'd rather do more z2 with nutrition and be fuelled for intervals for max training stress.

Solid food at threshold not for me

Train on torq and race on torq. Anything else makes me want to throw up if I'm doing intervals.

Yup but i'm probably moving it around twice a week. Used a deore skewer on my Simple - bombproof

As a non Stages owner you probably won't be shifing it that often but it's undoing that's the issue!

11-13 units of something. Watch out - they're made of cheese, quite shallow and the innermost one is easy to round off at which point you're in a world of hurt. I know I had to drill one out.

150miles and 6,500m climbing might take me a bit more than a few days but given the event I was training for has just been cancelled it's only family I've got to worry about (other than my legs).

HR strap and no HR data on head unit - only powerz. Only look at HR drift on PC later.

Now into build phase. Intensity of intervals requires more rest before and after. Tempted to put in distance on rest days in subconscious attempt to reduce efforts and pain on interval sessions.

Anyone eat/do gels on turbo?

You doing Braunton 150? Had hoped to but a) Easter - should be family time for me and b) distance training not happened. Also slightly concerned will wipe me out for too long.

For the Talbot 29er?

I try not to measure or think about my heart otherwise I feel all the missed beats and arrhythmias etc

Wrong thread

Yeah - the level of breathing and gurning I was displaying had them getting out the way. I had no peripheral vision just red fringed tunnel vision.

fuck i bet that thing is so fun round leigh woods/ashton court

Without a shadow of a doubt that bike on Yertiz is the most fun I've had a on a bike. Move across the road to Stella Nova was harder work (the rocky climb - ouch) but still fun.

Took new bike to Leigh Woods. Bike, trail, gearing etc so good I've strained my grin muscles.

What has my Ferrari got to do with this?

Michele?
