  • I'm working 3 weeks straight without a day off. So I need to make the most of the turbo

    Or perhaps you need a rest if your power is 'suddenly' dropping. Better to go into an event undertrained and pumped than overtrained and tired.

  • Power only dropping indoors though. Did 150 miles on Sunday and even at the end I was able to hold threshold and above without too much issue. Road power is getting there, just at the cost of indoor power. Obviously this is a good thing, except for the fact that for the three weeks coming it's pretty much all I have available.

    Which means your RPE is higher indoors, so either your house is suddenly hotter, you're hydrating/fueling differently or your motivation is slipping. Perhaps also you've pushed into new territory and expecting too much? If you've constantly been upping your power on the turbo you could be hitting physiological limits and need more rest, better mental state before trying again. You get faster during the recovery, not on the turbo.

    My year's training has been pretty meh, because of the mental overhead of a shit workplace followed by lots of context switching, long tasks, long days. Mentally I can't cope this year with training as well as I have done in previous years. It sucks but that's life.

  • What's your event?

  • Your rear brake is rubbing. You aren't calibrating your equipment properly. You're getting a bit less sleep than normal.

    I had similar, and in my case I was just burnt out mentally from indoor sessions after doing them through the winter. I just go out and do intervals on the road now / do TTs.

    If the weather is shitty, I'll skip the session and do it the next day
