Its quite clear that previous 'quick' commutes must see me all out on hills etc, but crawling along in recovery mode in other sections...... I've never really paid attention to anything but time.
I recently rode a 15km undulating strava section With a friend on my Wheel, so she could set a PB. I rode it relatively calmly. Making sure I didnt push too many watts up the hills. My own PB was set during an all out leg busting effort.
I was totally shocked when I saw I'd beaten my PB.
Worth noting that pulling back a mere 5w from Your limit feels 20w easier. So percieved effort is a rubbish measure. But I was still shocked.
