Not much opportunity to be on the bike for structured workouts this last 7 days or so due to rain. Today I really saw and felt it. Was supposed to do 30 - 10 second intervals at about 650 watts with 15 seconds recovery between each one and the recovery wasn’t even there! Probably had to skip every other one to let my systems reach equ again. I did manage to feel significant sprint muscle recruitment by the time I’d the workout ended upon putting some force over the top of the pedal stroke on the way back home on Jurupa. Excited to see just what I can do to bring all systems back to peak power and reaction time plus recovery. This season kind of reminds me of my first year of official USCF Road Racing back in the 1970’s. Big learning curve to round out my tool box of on the bike responsiveness to changing accelerations or attacks, closing gaps, chases, the escalating tempo or intensity along with muscle lactate build up and lungs maxed out over the final mile or so. Good times… 👁️🧬🧠📲🐲🔥🚴🏾🦵🏾🦶🏽🫁🫀💪🏾 ☀️🖖🏾✔️😊
