RE: Road to American Ninja Warrior - Day 67
Nice work getting stuck in regardless dude! It's so tough sometimes, this week I've been really slack, decided to use the three rest days as taper for a new FTP test (maximum effort test on the indoor bike to calculate my maximum sustainable 1 hour power output). Actually managed a really good effort (as evidenced by the exercise induced mid-session vomit - always the mark of 110% effort!)
Top work on the deadhang! You'll get that mojo back in no time bud! Nothing wrong with a few rest days here and there, you've been smashing it for weeks before your break so I'm sure it will do you good in the long run!
Hahahahaa, oh man! Dude! Mid-sesh vom... you are hard to the core!
I'm always confused about resting and not resting... sometimes a few days off has me stronger and better than ever... and sometimes it just deflates me and leaves the world with a weak ol Aussie Ninja who can't do a thing. After deciding to apply for Titan, I already feel my energy and resolve coming back... thanks Mr The Rock.
Haha worst part is I didn't save the workout on my watch! It saved to my PC so it's all good, but it won't be on Strava, which means it basically didn't happen. Gutted!
It's weird isn't it? I've had 5 weeks training, the last 2 of those were awesome, then a week and a half of struggling. I feel like if I go hardcore with the intervals it's just a bit too much stress for my body! I guess it's just about trying to listen to your body as best you can!
