What you'd consider classic Zone 2 training 👇

This type of ride and power is pretty rare for me. It is what you'd consider mid Zone 2 for my capabilities (~4w/kg). I don't do many extended rides at this power because I have such a mismatch in my physiology these days. Seated, this power is too taxing on my muscles, hence why I do a lot of easier days under 220w. But I decided today i'd do the Col De La Croix De Fer Portal, which is almost 90 mins. I feel like with potentially lots of back to back racing to come that standing for a long period of time might be good for the preparation!

The Descent of this climb had 3-4 climbs in it, so the average in the final 30 mins was still 210w (as you can see by the power graph below).

Rounds out a good week on the bike. 18.5 hours or so and some good threshold type intensity in there!
