hi all,
I'm in offseason base mode since early September and for another month. because of the nice riding weather I've been doing a ton of volume - about 23h per week total but at nothing more than 65% ftp - closer to 55-60% is more like it. for example I did a 5.5h ride today at 60% ftp because I like getting out in the sun with my friends for a long day in the saddle. however, I almost feel like I couldnt ride hard with a gun to my head - that my legs have gotten so used to LSD miles that they cant go hard. has this happened to anyone?
