Aerobic Capacity

Today’s training plan called for 75 minutes of hard effort. Since the weather was not wet, just cloudy with some sun, I decided to ride outside today. I choose a very flat route north of home. I warmed up for twenty minutes and then started the main set. I made a mental error about just how hard I was to ride. I thought the training plan called for an effort of 171-187 watts. I was feeling good and I did work a bit harder than I should have. I finished the main set with an average effort of 197 watts. When I got home a reviewed the plan, I discovered that my effort should have been between 151-179 watts. Opps. I must pay more attention to details.

At least I did set a personal record on the “Monster Cookie Hill” Strava Segment!
