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?

Ah, okay. Look up “chondromalacia” as long as you’re googling.

I just try to stay on the same courses, and look at my average wattage. Up is better down I'd bad . Kiss method for dummy. If I'm setting P.r.'s I must be doing something correct.

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.

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.

I just enter "trainer" in my log. no miles or hours. However, if I subtract my real miles from the miles that Strava says that I have, I get 535 indoor miles this year.

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