Schedule week of Mar 27

The week began with a nice session in the gym, lots of squats and getting in touch with hip flexors. This carried over into yoga, where the usual poses triggered a new awareness of hip flexors and range of motion.

Saturday's long run was much better that last week's, did the entire 14 miles and finished strong. Kept a closer watch on HR, pulled back intensity even just a little whenever it got past 2.5.

Moved Sunday's bike FTP interval workout to Tantalus as prep for CTTS. Could only do the first interval as planned, but I expected that after Saturday's run. Average power was off a bit on second rep so made the third rep a drop set and focused on form. Afterwards treated myself to a nice brunch at Honolulu Coffee Co.

Avg power, goal 160 - 177 watts
rep 1 - 167
rep 2 - 153
rep 3 - 125

TSS for the week went a bit over. Not sure where the extra came from but most of it is probably from the long run and spin class. Oh yea, I did a longer run than usual Monday before ST, that explains the first bump in the 7 day chart. I don't feel as tired today as I did last Sunday, which is nice. The second peak was spin class.

I would like to do Sunday's bike on the North Shore, just for fun. If so I may change the intervals to 2 x 15 min. Easier to maintain constant power without switchbacks.
