vEveresting
Since getting the Kickr I knew this would be a possibility and with YouTube always putting those types of clips up, I had to go for it.
From the previous week I worked out that 180watts (2.8watt/kg) would be a reasonable target and should get me to 5 reps of Alpe D Zwift. This worked well for the first 4 but I think I pushed the 5th a little too much to keep with this.
I had to stop halfway up the 6th rep and have a few minutes rest before going to coke earlier than I expected to as I was starting to go into a negative place with the lack of energy. I felt a lot better at the top and the next 2 reps got better as I went along.
The last half rep was fine and it helped with a club mate next to me online giving me the count down.
Really happy that the legs and body perked up and this has also given me a lot of information for the outdoor attempt.
Times were 69, 69, 68, 68, 69, 79, 73 and 71.

A good even team tonight and I was strong to the end taking bigger turns on the front than normal.

Minging condition to run in but got it done.

Ramp test. I put my Garmin pedals on just to see if there is a power difference with Zwift. When I was at the top end, power was 15 watts higher on Zwift.
Great test and got through the 360 watts ramp so happy with a new pb of 275 on Zwift so I’ll take that as a 260 normal.

Steady at Watopia.

Calf pretty much there and felt strong on the hills.
