Heathpack 

Two different workouts. The 1 x 30 was by itself today. Based on the definition of FTP, though, that should be doable for an hour, right? Seems to me that 30 min at 100% should be an everyday 'no biggie" thing.

A couple of weeks ago, I had those two workouts scheduled back to back and missed both workouts on account of needing to be at the Dachshund Field Trials earlier than I realized. The following day I skipped the long unstructured ride that was on my schedule in lieu of an impromptu make-up session that actually was 2 x 10 @ 105% followed by 1 x 30 @100%. Wasn't sure I could get it done but it went surprisingly well.

I posted awhile back about listening to the book Endure on Audible. So fascinating that I'm going through it a second time. The book is about the physiology of endurance. Some of the stuff in there about the physical basis fatigue is really thought-provoking. I know it relates to what I have experienced on the trainer in the past few days. Trying to wrap my head around exactly what my thoughts are, its mentally tantalizing to vaguely understand something is important but to not quite be able to formulate a clear thought on an intellectual level.
