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.
