I've been cracking on with the Tour de Zwift. I've now completed the long, medium and short courses of stages 1 to 5 with stage 6 incoming next week, where I will earn the badge of honour for completing all 18 stages/routes. It has been good training as I've 'raced' hard on the long course and zone two'd the medium and short each week. On the running side, there's only one route and I used it for a threshold each week and that's been good training.
As to the zone 2, I'm starting to build my long run back up and yesterday's 12k was steady. I worked on the hills and inclines but wasn't pushing for PBs. Now I've re-conquered the hills around these yer parts I'm aiming not to be reduced to a walk ever again, so I worked hard enough to get up the hills but without bleeding through my eyeballs. On the flat my effort was more towards steady. It was a surprise to find I'd beaten my previous best on the 'legs or lungs' climb by 21s as I wasn't "trying". All of which, I think, means I shall be keeping on with the zone 2 training.
