Week 9 - Some threshold development intervals this week spending ~25-30mins total at FTP. More psychologically tough as they were pretty short 5min intervals, compared to say riding at that intensity for 60mins which is what FTP is supposed to represent. TBH wasn't really feeling it after last few weeks and nearly pulled the pin, but I figured these last few weeks are prob where the real action and improvement will happen, so have kept going.
Also had a bit of a brainwave on the wandering left shoe issue. It feels like each foot is effectively slave to the other one, and the left one for whatever reason generally follows the right one. So I think it's actually the right foot moving around, but not sure why apart from old injuries, maybe leading to technique breakdown at higher power, i don't know. I'm imagine this would also only be a trainer issue due to fixed position including where you are looking, how the bike is set up etc etc.
D1 - 32.7km 202w avg
D2 - 46.9km 209w avg
D3 - Low impact/recovery, CBF doing, did some stretching instead. Legs and quads are constantly stiff and heavy.
D4 - 43.6km 217w avg
D5 - 16.2km 189w avg
