I had to abort the Tempo workout today on the third set. I just couldn't get the watts up without getting my heart rate too high. Again, not surprising given that I'm not periodizing on the standard model. That would have required at least 4-6 weeks of easy riding before introducing Tempo. Instead, I'm trying to use Tempo to boost my aerobic system "from below." I guess the key is to have appropriate recovery and maybe I have not yet fully recovered from my back to back Tempo workouts on the weekend. So I ended up riding the last 40 minutes easy.
The good news is that my Power Tap is working. We'll see. I like new "toys" but am never that adept at mastering them. I need to make this work though. The best way to get in shape is to train smart and that is what the Power Tap is for.
So I ended up watching part of the Australian Open quarterfinal between Raphael Nadal and Andy Murray. Is it just me or does Andy Murray look alot like David Millar?
I will let you decide!
