This was on a Sunday morning, I was well rested at the time of this ride. That's way I was trying a rest day prior to my last hard day, but I still failed to hit all intervals. But I as I said in the previous post, I really think the blood donation is the main issue.
Have you ever done structured training before? This is where a good coach trumps a generated program. Sometimes you just get tired, sometimes you don't respond the same as others, sometimes the stimulus is too much, sometimes too little.
The more you do and try these things and the more data you accrue, the better decisions you can make in regards to what to do next.
Personally, I wouldn't give it a second thought. I'd take a day off if I were tired, or I'd try the workout again the next day if I wasn't. Sometimes I just feel bad and going out and bombing a workout gets me primed to nail it the next day. The body can be fickle at times.
