I rounded out the final long stage of the Tour de Zwift the week before last, with a cracking ride. 90mins at threshold. Beautiful. Finished the run version the following day with a ramped effort, 6.7km. The final short route of stage 6 was also a cracker. Absolutely NOT a zone 2 ride. I was on the limit for the 40-minutes of the 27km virtual ride. 247W average earned me an FTP increase of +6W, to further extend my highest ever FTP.
The Sunday before last I was over to the mountains to do the race timing for the Pen Tir fell race. I got there early for a jog out and back along the race route beforehand. Only 7k but 350m so a decent little workout.
This Saturday, I completed my longest run of the year so far, just under 15k. I'm looking to keep building to about 20km. Sunday was some zone 2 before a rest day Monday - and I needed it.
Up today was a banging 51km Zwift at not full throttle but still my best 1 hour 45-minute power for goodly while - and I managed 90 minutes on the piano and day 2 working on the second of the ABRSM Grade 1 pieces - which went even better than the Zwift.
