In L4 format.  I wanted to increase the intensity just a little bit.  Last workout, my lactate was at 1.1mmol after 60 minutes.  I’d like to see it in the 1.6 to 2.0 range.  Today, I experimented with a different stroke sequence.  After starting with a normal 10 sequence, I then started fast and slowed down in each 10 minute chunk.

It was delightfully cool and dry.  It was 59F after I finished.  I think this kept my HR nice and low.  After I took my lactate at 60 minutes (1.5mmol/l), I tried to push the wattage up to 10W above target for each segment of the last two 10′ chunks.  Even with the higher output, my RPE and HR stayed nice and low.

Tomorrow:  A tough threshold session.  3 x 10′ with 5′ rest.  I think I need to back off of to about a 1:50 pace.  We’ll see.
