Can we continue the tips/ways not to crash discussion here instead of in the training thread? Most of it has already been discussed, but it will be easier for people to find.

Commute @ Threshold + 1-minute-ish hill climb repeats with the team yesterday
Lunch ride today
TSB is the lowest it's been since I started training with power. Need a few easy days to recover, but I think I'll be close to my pre-injury fitness after.
Has anyone noticed the performance manager in strava btw? Same info that WKO+ or GC will give you

1:45 tonight with an easy group ride, small chain ring the whole time. I needed the easy riding, legs feel a lot better - sorta in panic mode to heal them up. I ate as much protein as I could find/eat. Made it home to watch the 2nd and 3rd period of the leaf game........

you can do 1 minute paced hard intervals, they just are't WRIs.

If I actually go all-out for the first one, all of them will be the same power because I can't do any more.

When I first read this, I thought it was ZCI's, not WRI's. I thought "F-me, the new guy is _strong_!"

No, I can't do 6 all-out and get any kind of good workout. I do them about 90% of max, but with a WRI profile. Ideally, the 5th one feels like death, but I can actually get the 6th one to be my 2nd or 3rd best avg power. I "pace them" by going all-out for the first 5 seconds, and from there I hold an RPE of 9. So not pacing power, just pacing RPE. Graph is the same shape as a 1' test, just not quite as tall.
If I actually go all-out for the first one, all of them will be the same power because I can't do any more.

The sprint at the first 5s I was about 90% of my max. Right around 40 seconds my whole body wants to just fall over :/ haha.
EDIT: realized my cleat was seriously compromised and my foot was hurting most of the ride. Will try this again next week with hopefully slightly better results(doubt it made much of a difference but toward the end of the ride my foot was hurtin)

I went all out for the first one, second one felt hard, third one was really hard, 4th one I was already pooped and 5th one I was holding on to dear life. Did 3mins rest between the first 5. Then 4mins before I started the 6th and that one I went all out and finished off somewhat decent all things considered.

I remember that one... I think you posted it back in the "what's your wri look like?" thread where I was interested to see if the shapes were similar.
Depending on what you're training the 5' of rest can be important. Lactic acid clearing takes at least 5 minutes. There are obviously workouts that limit recovery for other purposes, but if you want to get far into your AWC zone for six intervals, you're not cheating yourself or taking the easy way out by getting 5-10' of rest between them -- payback is during the ridiculous work interval.

I use it in conjunction with WKO+, it does a much better job for me because its web based. Gives pretty much the same results.

interesting disconnect with my PMC. i've raced every weekend since march 16/17. so, my weekly volume has been lower than normal by 2 hrs. to as much as 4 hrs./week, and my last 28 days of activity looks like a "U", meaning lots of time is L1/2 and lots of time in L5/6, not much in the middle aside from a short-ish TT. the PMC has my TSB positive, but my legs feel like it should be very negative. i think it's an interesting disconnect. that is all.

Hit a new all-time peak power high on the Weds night hammerfest. (I love the ride, coach put it on my schedule this week.) The last few miles were attack, attack, attack, 32 mph average and NP well above my CP for 5 minutes. There's about 4 guys on the ride who are categorically stronger than me but the extended melee suited me better, I soloed across the line
