  • Since having the hip flexor problems I have lost any energy for turbo sessions. Aerobic workouts are raising my heart rate higher than I’d expect and anything over ftp and I grind to a mental and physical halt.

    I was just watching an old TrainerRoad podcast where they were talking about over training and suggested reduce intensity and volume and focus on mobility. Which would be fine except I am already doing an hour of yoga most days - very static/slow focusing on control, breathing and flexibility as I use bike for cardio.

    Felt very sub par all week, even did a covid swab test which came back negative so at a bit of a loss as to what to do/change.

    After hip flexor issues I did an ftp test (it had dropped) and have been doing base training. So the last few ftp tests have all shown a reduction in ftp.

  • Are you doing any riding outside at all? I got really fed up of/demotivated on the turbo earlier this year and struggled without being able to put my finger on why.

    It served a purpose but there’s no substitute for getting out in the sun. I’ve not even put my power meter on my outdoors bike and it’s very liberating.

    I’m still fat and slow though.
