  • Power only dropping indoors though.

    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.

  • your house is suddenly hotter

    Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Temp during a successful session last week were 63f vs 75f during last night failure.

    So, bar training in the fridge (I have a big industrial fan already), while temps are raised is it a case of just working at a reduced level? Or at current levels and htfu until failure?

  • #hippyisalwaysright

    Unless you can add more ventilation, remove clothing then yes, work at a reduced level. The stress on your body will be higher so ride slower and finish a session is better than bailing because you've fucked yourself.

  • 3 industrial fans is reasonable - front, rear and side.
