Today's cycling workout was Palisade. With starting the workouts in the intermediate base of the TrainerRoad program, I'm definitely finding that they involve more threshold intervals than the ones from the initial base building. Whereas the initial base building was mostly going in what is referred to as 'sweet spot' - the intervals for the past couple workouts have been right at, or slightly higher than, FTP.
This workout was interesting because it was intervals within intervals - there were segments just below FTP, followed by segments right above FTP. While the segments below FTP were kind of like a break, it was fleeting and still required significant effort.
After the cycling workout, I headed out for a short 1 mile run to keep the streak going as well as to get some practice with transition. I looked into it a bit, and it appears to be the posterior tibialis tendon - which makes sense because both things mentioned that it does (provide arch support and control pronation) are where it has tended to get annoyed. So my hope is that with this week seeing a large decrease in planned mileage, it'll go a long way to getting it back to 100% quickly.
