VO2 max Intervals

Training schedule called for VO2max intervals and 2x20min @ 95% FTP. Left work shortly before 4pm to head out to the Grocery Bag to do the intervals. Temp at start approximately 48F, no wind to speak of.

15-20min warm up then started the interval set...
3x5min:
#1: 209/203/95/19.7 (np/ap/rpm/mph)
#2: 209/205/93/19.1
#3: 209/205/94/19.9

These were not extremely hard, but by the time 4min was rolling around, I was getting a little fatigued. Just have to fight through that and I did.

Next up, after a good 15min recovery was supposed to be 2x20min at 95% of my ftp. It was starting to get a bit colder, my fingers were slightly cold as were my toes. Set out and did pretty well, but after that one interval, I just couldn't do another one. All I wanted to do was get back to the car and get warm!!

Hopefully, next week, I will be able to get 2 of the 95% ftp intervals done. Will need to leave work a little earlier so that I can finish while still daylight....
