Velociraptor wrote: How did that feel?
EvilPixie wrote: post bike wobbly legs but didn't walk. Felt very clumpy - need to do more to get "used" to running off the bike. Legs a little tired too, First bit on the bike was an effore!
Velociraptor wrote: You've trained on tired legs and you've got a feel for running straight off the bike. That's a couple of tally marks in the training requirements list :)
EvilPixie wrote: :-D

EvilPixie wrote: Just a short walk to chemist. I may not think I’m working much during my rides but the legs know that I’m training!

Velociraptor wrote: Well done 😁 A few really good days of training will make the two days off productive in terms of supercompensation.
EvilPixie wrote: That's what I am hoping ... Sunday 6hrs + to see Gnome then Monday 5hrs + to see in-laws. If possible I'd also like to see mum as we are off next week.

Velociraptor wrote: Nice pace and power output :)

EvilPixie wrote: Session done at 100% of targets - normally they are reduced was a tough session

Velociraptor wrote: Escape! :)
EvilPixie wrote: Indeed! Nit the walk I planned as farmer has ploughed over the footpath!

Velociraptor wrote: Well done *star*
EvilPixie wrote: 1/4 of the distance and lessons learned. Never got into the groove today mind
Velociraptor wrote: Gives you a measure of how much work you have to do to be confident of being able to fit a marathon into the gap between your likely bike leg finish and the overall time limit, so a very useful session to be doing at this stage.
EvilPixie wrote: I figured that a totally undertrained marathon won’t be hugely different to knackered after 112m on the bike
Velociraptor wrote: You're not going to be knackered after the bike leg because you're going to have done the training that will allow you to get off the bike in good condition, and you're going to be prepared to do a decent marathon rather than a grim death march.
EvilPixie wrote: Yes sorry that was what I meant!
Velociraptor wrote: :) :) :)
Ness wrote: 😁👍

Velociraptor wrote: Splendid :)
EvilPixie wrote: Legs better than expected which is encouraging! Rest day tomorrow visiting mum. FTP test Saturday

Velociraptor wrote: That's a big percentage improvement in FTP :) Well done, this training malarkey obviously works.
EvilPixie wrote: 😁 getting there
EvilPixie wrote: And 2.3kg lighter
Velociraptor wrote: Even better :)

Velociraptor wrote: Well done 😁 Running after a long day in the car can be quite difficult.
EvilPixie wrote: yeah that didn't help as there was so little movement that there was no chance to recover from Saturday's fitness test and heavy gardening but job done

Velociraptor wrote: Nice! Imagine it's Outlaw and you've done almost 100 miles already :)
EvilPixie wrote: I was thinking of that Orange carpet! just really surprised me as to how the legs were empty
Velociraptor wrote: Your legs will drift in and out of feeling empty during the Outlaw bike leg. That's OK, because as your rides get longer you'll become familiar with riding through bad patches knowing that the feeling will pass and you'll be riding strongly again in a little while.
EvilPixie wrote: good thinking no reason to rest - I rest Saturday with a long drive to collect a fluff ball!

Velociraptor wrote: Yessssssssssssss 💪
EvilPixie wrote: :-D

Velociraptor wrote: Impressive 🏊
