Hurt me plenty



Early last fall, it was killing me to do 3x20 at 270 VT watts and I tapered before that workout/test. A few weeks later I was up to 275W, 280W, 285W, and then didn't do any 3x20s until late January. Since then, I've done 3x20s at 285W and 290W and wasn't really hurting. So today, with TSB at a reasonable -8 but otherwise not tapered, I incremented by 10W and did 3x20 at 300W. That did end up hurting but still not quite as much as the 3x20s last fall. It was sufficiently painful that I won't be doing anymore 5 or 10W increments. From now on, it'll be like 1-2W if at all.

Last fall, I set a lofty goal of being able to do 3x20 at 300W by May 2008. It would be with a taper and be 300 VT watts or 310 SRM watts. I never really thought I'd be able to do it as it was one of those "reach" goals.
