Training Status??? (IV)

6x10 Z4 with 5min Z2 in between (zwifting). It's weird, I have sustained 93% for 60 mins straight and even doing around 95% like I did today is pretty comfortable, but I have a hard time getting comfortable at 250-255w as far as cadence is concerned (either have to spin faster than I like or slower), going to have to get the tighter ratio 12-23 cassette on and see how that helps. All this to say that I have kept my ftp at 250 because I haven't proven to myself otherwise that I can actually do better.

Thursday was 30 second efforts - 81 TSS. Yesterday was a 1.5H ride at L2/3 - 107 TSS. Today was a "fun" bout of WRIs; wind picked up and it was miserable in 1 direction, but I set a few PRs on Strava sprinting with the wind - 132 TSS.
Not going to make the circuit race tomorrow, so I'll just do some L2 time and hopefully prepare for the road race on Sunday.

Its tempting..it made trainer time last winter much more tolerable, but im also thinking about giving trainer road a shot this year and not sure I want to pay for 2 subscriptions

Regarding zwift, I like it fine, but really when I'm doing intervals sometimes I don't even pay attention to whatever screens I have on. Curious to see what training stuff they introduce though.

2hrs on zwift, z2/z3 will be traveling most of this coming week, which I guess is good because I'll have a rest week ahead of the last road race of the season, which I'm still hoping to do. will probably be stuck going to spin studios but will try to rent a road bike for a day hopefully

Gate to the top half of my usual 20min climb was closed today due to common sense, so I did 4x10 to the gate instead with 6ish min rests between, 97-103% ascending difficulty. I'm feeling tired, and glad that tomorrow's the last day of the block before some rest.

Forest Falls, 50 miles, 5k of climbing. Did a 20 minute effort with some 30s. Asthma was acting up so the numbers were low...actually I'm just glad I didn't pass out.

5.25hrs low z2, 240 TSS. felt surprisingly good in the final stretches of the ride, and by that, I mean: I didn't feel like crap.
