Second place against the team that made one of the best runs in Eurocup history. I wish my country underperformed like that 😄
England were ahead for 16 minutes of normal time in the last six games of the tournament. In the knock out rounds? 1 second. They’ve massively underperformed for a team with that level of talent. That’s on the manager & his tactics.

I was reading a lot of drama about #LaVuelta2023 yesterday. And afterwards I realized that I’m not sure if JV meant Jumbo-Visma or Jonás Vingegaard in some tweets. Imagine @JumboVismaRoad signed Jay Vine as a rider plus Jonathan Vaughters and Jens Voigt as sport directors 😁

Too excited indeed.
I did a couple of flat time trials with avg. speeds around 44 kph pushing only 260-270w. My weight was 62-63 kg at that time.
I think for 59 kilos CdA can easily be around 0.2
I think whoever was guesstimating the Female Pros power up to that point in the race was a bit excited.
A quick BestBikeSplit estimate for 59kg female, CdA ~0.23 & Crr ~.0028 (ie Contis TT 5000) & race conditions = ~285w, 4.8 w/kg & 44.5 kph (Knibb split speed). Still, it would be cool to see the real watts...

Fun fact.

For me it was endurance training indeed! Z2 sucks when you’re aerobically weak and crawl slowly at right intensity.
But years after when you can climb staying in the zone or cruise at speeds well over 30 kph it’s becoming very fun!
5. The stuff that sucks often gets fun once you are fit enough to enjoy it.
Take interval training. Research shows that your enjoyment increases as you make progress.
Give yourself time to get fit enough to enjoy the work.

Did my first lactate test. 160w point is probably a bit off but I believe that the trend is correct. So I suppose my Z1 is 140-180w, Z2 is 180-200w, and LT work range is 240-250w? @Alan_Couzens @feelthebyrn1 gentlemen, I’ll be grateful for any feedback 🙏

Inspired by some @Alan_Couzens posts I decided to check my long-term cycling progress. Started to work with a coach and do proper z2 training in 2019. Nice to see how that curve is shifting. Barely noticeable in day to day training, but very satisfying in retrospective.
