Daily Update – Day 2 Bulk (09 september 25)
Today I kicked off a new structured plan for my cycling. With the colder weather, I’ll be doing more indoor sessions, so I decided it was time to bring some order to my bike training. Today was my first MAP (Maximal Aerobic Power) session – it was tough and definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone. Still, I’m confident that focusing on shorter but higher-quality sessions will really help improve my overall conditioning.
Structured Zwift Session – PMA Intervals (30/30 i5-i3)
- Duration: 1h00m
- Distance: 27.9 km
- Elevation gain: 310 m
- Average speed: 27.8 km/h
- Calories burned: 476 kcal
- Average power: 138 W
- Peak efforts: up to 296 W during 30/30 intervals
This was my first structured PMA workout on Zwift, alternating 30s high-intensity at Zone 5 with 30s recovery in Zone 3. The session combined solid aerobic work with sharp anaerobic peaks, a great mix for improving both VO2max and power endurance.
really sweating at 5:45am this morning
