TR Ramp Test, didn't cheat it at all. Its actually the first test I've done that I quite enjoyed

I've had a very minor cold but otherwise feel fine, so who knows.

Both. I was struggling to reach some of the power targets on Weds and Thurs this week (less so today) and that's put me off-track for TSS. So yeah maybe I've got myself on the wrong plan, too much volume too quick?

See how you go taking a rest first, but my experience with TRs ramp test has been mixed at best. For three consecutive months last year I had improved results on the ramp test, while my sustained power abilities remained completely static. The result was that doing TR workouts around threshold became very taxing. I was basically too good at doing the ramp test. Unsurprisingly fairly common...

I did read that thread after I retested, but will check the other one out. Genuinely think I was just tired, have had 3 days off and feeling like I want to get back on it now, so perhaps just residual fatigue from increasing my training load from zero to fucking lots
