Training

Yesterday, I did something a bit different--4x20 at 295W rather than 3x20 at 305-310W. It hurt a lot less but that may have been due to better eating habits or, though there isn't any sound evidence, simply being more rested.



Perceived exertion was reasonable. It was somewhat annoying but I didn't really feel any pain. About 12 minutes into #3, the VT load unit suddenly switched off. The power cord had apparently been vibrating itself loose over time and finally lost its connection. The flywheel had come to a complete stop and it took quite a lot of effort to get it going while the load unit was still braking. It put a nice "burn" in my legs which went away after a few minutes of extra high cadence pedaling.

I will probably switch both of my weekly L4 workouts from 3x20s to 4x20s.
