Today was “easier” or so I thought. 1 x 20@ 105% but right when I got started my quads were like WTF, no. It was a struggle at first but in the end I got it done. For me, threshold efforts frequently get easier around 5-7 min in, I assume some kind of lactate processing metabolic system kicks in for me around that time.

Anyway it was funny- first the shock, then despair, then hope, then accomplishment. A microcosm of life, all in a single 20 min interval, lol.
