VO2 to Tempo

2007_01_05cropToday was another trainer ride. I wanted to do a VO2 workout, but I should have realized that wasn’t such a good idea considering how awful I felt over the first ten minutes. But after half an hour I felt a little better so I did a 5-minute FT push. It felt hard but not severely, so I attempted a 2-minute VO2, but after just over a minute I quit. I knew I’d have trouble finishing just one, let alone a couple sets of four. So I spun easy for a few minutes and then did 50 minutes of tempo. Total ride time was 2:15 with 133 TSS and 223/234 ave/norm power.
