Hello all, I need some advice.
Over the last week or two I've suddenly struggled to hold power on the turbo.
I've seen speed and sustainable power gains on outdoor rides which is good, but at the same time I've found I'm suddenly incapable of holding power indoors. I've always been someone who relies on indoor training and was able to hold equal and often higher power indoors over road. That is no more and the last few sessions I've completely died.
Normally I wouldn't care, but my target event is in four weeks and after this weekend I'm working 3 weeks straight without a day off. So I need to make the most of the turbo.
Do people set themselves reduced zones indoors? Knock off 5-10% and see how it compares in terms of RPE? Does this impact physiological adaptation?
The other option I have is lots of early morning regents, but they turn an already long day into silly long and impact my work a bit, so not ideal.
Cheers.
