This was a redo of the workout I did on Wednesday, but this time with lower power levels
- 3 x 20′ intervals
- Pace Targets:
- 1st interval: Marathon Pace
- 2nd Interval: 10K Pace
- 3rd Interval: Half Marathon Pace
- 2′ rest between pieces
- HR Range: 80% to 90% of HRMax (149 to 168)
So, based on yesterday’s happy workout, I aimed 5 watts above the bottom of each pace range, so my targets were
- Marathon Pace: 185W
- 10K Pace: 215W
- Half Marathon Pace: 200W
I stayed just below the HR limit in the second and third interval.
These to be just about right. Challenging, HR coming close to the limit.

Interesting how your drive length increases in the first and first half of the second interval, then starts to decrease. Do you have any explanation for why that happened?

I consistently see that my drive length increases over the first few minutes in just about every workout. I attribute that to increased range in motion for my knees and hips as I get a bit more warmed up. Toward the end of many workouts I see increased spread of drive lengths, my stroke gets inconsistent as I get tired and I will rate up a bit. Not sure why there was a shortening trend in this session at the end.

By the time you get into the third month of this plan, you’ll be amazed at how fit you have become.
