I am finding training so much better with the power meter, especially now that we are under Stage 4 restrictions. It gives me some real direction and scope to keep focused. ... I've been hitting my sessions with minimal variation from the plan so I've really been able to feel the improvement in recent weeks, especially with my running. I've dropped a couple of kilos too.
Got my 10km TT done today and got around in 44:36. This is a lifetime PB which is obviously very pleasing, especially considering how lousy Melbourne's weather was today. But I'm most excited by the even split between the first and second half. There was very little difference between the first and second 5km and both were faster than the 5km TT I did during the first round of testing (I knew I didn't have enough muscular endurance to run a good 10km back then). ... Thanks again for everything.
On a separate note, I thought I'd let you know my training is ticking along really well. Here are a few thoughts.: - running has been scaled back slightly because of the Stage 4 restrictions, but I'm feeling relaxed, fast and comfortable when out for my hour. - my technique and comfort running off the bike has improved a lot. - I've been hitting my power numbers very consistently on the bike.
I've not been trying to smash high numbers, just do what is on the program. ... Thanks for everything so far.
