Last Saturday I seemed to feel significantly better, I can't explain why.
Swimming and running are not happening yet.
I rode 200 miles on Zwift again. I've included the :30/:15 intervals and was able to increase my efforts by about 10 watts last week and 16 watts over the last 2 weeks. I'm likely to continue with them this week and then take a short break from the intensity. I'll replace them with easy riding.
After that, I'll probably go to :45/:30's to simulate track riding. I don't think the :30/:15 are as effective in sustaining a higher HR as the :45/:30's and won't drive VO2max abilities as well. I do feel the :30/:15' were a good introduction to higher effort training with more stress to the muscles than HR. I am now after higher sustained HR to drive my fitness. I'm also entertaining the thought of :45 on and 2 min on to simulate points races. I need to determine if this will drive fitness or is more of a race simulation. My goal right now is to drive fitness.
My weight is still stable at 152 lbs and has not moved. I haven't been as disciplined as I need to be about calorie counting and need to work at it more.
My flexibility is still doing well. My PT is addressing my limitations I feel I have for swimming.
The PT is taking me down to 1 day a week in January. I don't agree that it's the right thing to do but I fix machinery and not people so I will accept their judgement and follow their plan.
