Cycling conundrum. What's harder, VO2 max intervals at 200% FTP or riding really slow during a recovery week? For me, it's the recovery. I feel like my muscles are gonna jump out of my skin. Got a deep tissue massage, took three days off (in a row), and rode today. At 14mph. Taking it easy is really hard.

summertime blues
Is there a cure for the summertime blues? If so, please direct me to it.
Kind of at a bike inflection point. I still love to ride, but am feeling like a Groundhog Day extra, getting up, working, cranking out an hour or so of steady state/tempo/recovery. Shower. Eat. Sleep. Repeat.
Having waved off Copper Triangle (my daughter has a track meet), and been Heismanned by the HCD en masse on the USAPCC, I have no motivator in the near-term. Levi's King Ridge looms in September, distant enough that it's on the fringe of consciousness.
I am a mudder. By this I mean that I enjoy the ritual of the workout for the ritual's sake. I find the structure comforting, however redundant. Hopefully something reignites the passion. Until then, I'll just slowly sharpen the blade...
