Tuesday:Wanted to do 16 short hill climbs to emulate Flanders, but only got up to 12 before the legs told me to shove off. A combination of a heavy weekend and not eating for a medium length ride left me quite shagged. 12 times up Kiara at a bigger gear for some low cadence work to prepare for steep bergs. All intervals were above FTP. 180 TSS points.
Thursday: Some low VO2max work on the trainer. Wanted to go for 12 sets to be equivalent to Tuesday, but legs rebelled so only completed seven sets @ 280W doing HHNF. 90 TSS points.
Saturday: Wanted to do a big figure-eight loop from the Bukit Merah toll. But had to cut it short as legs were feeling heavy and blocked. Turned for home after breakfast stop in Selama. Managed to get in 143 km still at mid Zone 3 for 295 TSS points.
Turns out doing something stupid like the previous weekend had a detrimental effort. "Surprising", I know. A semi-recovery week, it turned out to be. Only 560 TSS points this week. Hopefully the legs come around for the last two long rides of this training block.
