It goes without saying it will get easier with consistency. YouTubing yoga core exercise routines might be a gentle intro. Although the term ‘gentle’ is often relative!

yeah, I have planked for just over 3 min before so I know it’s a q of keeping it up. Literally 😀

Watch that knee!😉
 
Did a high intensity event on Zwift this morning (nice to see you there @bobinski ) and I see the my W Bal went negative a couple of times.

Does this indicate that the estimate was low and I should increase the value @Legs ? Surely there is no such thing as a negative here - you can empty the tank and no more??

Zwifty Viking Valhalla 65miles 3hours Flat course 'Eastern Eight' course.

Our group pushed on (33) after the midway point. We didn't lose many riders due to the later pace gently ramping towards the finish

Yep in theory you can't go below zero. It means either your FTP is low or your W' is low (or both.)

Hopefully the winters training serves me well. Thanks for the inspiration and motivation over these past few months.

Last week I had an enforced rest day with a late work meeting and zwift subscription has expired so I was limited to a couple of workouts in the free 25 km (used the road to sky on a MTB to get in a couple of decent sessions). 2 long Z2 rides this weekend and a rest today.

As long as I breathe, I attack.
Rain too heavy and frequent for a recovery ride. Been for a recovery walk instead, as that offered options to get under cover, when the inevitable rains blows in. Didn’t want recovery ride to turn into a VO2 max session to beat the rain back home.

after a 40 mile pootle saturday and a 66 mile higher intensity ride yesterday i was down for a steady 50 but like you rain stopped play and i am now officially hitting the man flu curve .Zwift session today instead although my heart wasnt in it .
