Got a new/ modified set of exercises yesterday. Great (feeling) run up along some foothills trails this morning, Got slightly lost. Work is stupid. Running is much better.

After a couple days in the 90s it's predicted to be back over 100 tomorrow. One of the clubs has a short ride of 40 miles which should be done by noon. Regular ride friends are driving 65 miles to Ventura for the 5th Saturday in a row. I could just go out solo again. As usual, I'll put off a decision until the last possible minute.
Time to go cruise the neighborhood to see what the legs have, or don't have.

Also, only word I missed was an Octordle Daily. Because the other ones get more thought...

FWIW, I haven't changed my weight on Connect in a few months and my FTP hasn't bumped (more than a watt or three) in a few weeks, so it does make me wonder where they're getting the increase. Maybe it also includes respiration data?

I can't figure it out either. Gotta be something to do with power*time/HR, right (?), but it tracks more or less with the intervals.icu estimate and tells me I'm awesome, so it's correct.

Does Intervals provide a VO2 Max estimate? I haven't seen it. Anywho, my Intervals FTP is about 20w higher than my Garmin Connect calculation. I'd love to just go with Intervals and pat myself on the back, but I'm guessing that Connect is closer and I just have a big swingin' W', but who knows?
Correct - this is the most important bit.

I was in the second best shape of my life in my fifties. Belizean rainforest life. I felt like was aging backwards. Best shape of my life in my thirties, my running years.

Same age as my little sister, may she rest in peace. My wife and I babysat her and my little brother when we were in high school and had to change their diapers. I’m not changing yours.

That is curious, though - Intervals has the higher FTP but lower VO2max (same weight for both profiles).

3 groups, actually. The main/fast group starts at 8:00. There are also groups at 7:45 and 7:30, with short and long versions for all 3 groups. I've done the 7:45 long version a couple of times recently. It was a stretch, but I hung on with the front guys. My intent for tomorrow is 8:00 short. It will be a bigger group with more places to hide. I expect to get spit out the back of the group in the hills near the finish, but the intensity will be good for me.

My older sister lived in a 55+ community with her late husband and she hated it. It was a huge, upscale place with loads of amenities. She said many of the other women were nosey busybodies and the old men would creep her out. She sold her place and moved out after her husband passed.
