I'm working my way through the Zwift Academy workouts, this time doing them with FTP set at my most recent value. I'm not sure why, but I'm finding them a lot more doable, even at a higher FTP setting. Also, my HR is not only not going quite as high (maybe 4 bpm lower maximum) but also it's dropping a lot farther in the recovery segments - the lowest it got during the 6 minutes between the 2 sets of 3 back in September was 132. Tonight it was 113.
I find it hard to believe I'm suddenly in that much better shape. Maybe I was sick in September/October or something? |

whats definition of the back of the knee? the pain is underneath my knee cap.
at times I get the sensation my knee wants to pop or it has a moving sensation. Not large movement but I can feel it. Not often and I never noticed it until this started. |

Valid point. I'm not significantly concerned with analyzing my fitness in great detail. I know when I'm riding better, and feeling stronger. That's enough for me.

I am at 6340 miles for the year. I think that’s plenty, but if the weather permits I do have a shot at 7K for the year. 6.5 is almost a sure thing. One of the retired geezers I ride with has over 11K, which is impressive for a guy of 76.

I keep seeing these two threads juxtaposed:
"Chain Fell Off Mid-Pack" and "Does Anyone Bring A Spare Chain?" - which, despite what you might think, were NOT started by the same person. |

Nope. Michelle B is an old rider, who has been riding with us for many years. She is riding a Ti Seven. All the cool kids ride Ti, it seems.

5500 ish miles this year. Not to bad for the amount of time I spend at work.
|
Well, since we're doin' show and tell with the annual mileage, I'm at 6150, with a few hundred of that coming on the trainer.

Most of my CPU cycles, during this morning's coffee and tea, have been devoted to ironing out how to tackle a not-insignificant to-do list while the girl is at preschool.
....and then I happened to glance at the family calendar and saw that my wife had added a preschool concert to the day, smack dab in the middle of the morning. :troll: |

20 years ago tomorrow we crossed the American/Mexican border for the first time as expats.

8023 miles and about 466,000’ of vertical for the year. Maybe an 8th of that is fake.
Total miles: 7476 mi; 459195 vertical ft Fake: 1668 mi; 123146 vertical ft I misunderestimated the fake miles and there was some walking and hiking in the above numbers. |
I just have hours, because I don't run a speed sensor on my trainer. 340 hours so far this year, which doesn't count weights.

What might this entail? I have not a clue.

Training load for the year is 29950.

Surely you remember that. |
I'm in the middle of updating the nav system on my wife's CRV. What a convoluted, royal, mess.
