Not unprecedented for me seem to regularly ramp test about 10% lower than my 95% 20 (which I've been able get basically bang on to for an hour race as well)
Which given I'm keen on an event based on Vo2 efforts isn't the most promising for nature vs nurture!
Yeah that is weird. Maybe you just need to get used to them. I keep my protocol the same every time - including the same 20 minute warmup I do before every race.
Yeah I'm sure I could get better at them, and in effect I'm keeping the same protocol in using the 'in-race' efforts, I think if I was doing a big VO2 block of training might make sense to better reflect the ramp results but at the mo the sweetspot levels feel sustainable.
My legs went wrong!
