Great workout tonight with no bonk. For the first time at high intensity, I felt like old self. Not exactly sure if this is because I'm settling in to the ketosis or because I took a tbs of MCT oil tonight before the workout. I was feeling a little tired at work today too so I wasn't expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised though when the workout was done.
This is a little workout I do pre-race, and since regional masters track is this weekend, it was a good primer. Actually it was a test to see if I would even consider racing this weekend. All things checked out and I think I'm physically good (or good enough) to race.
A really interesting thing was how fast my hr was coming down after each interval. It didn't go as high either. Best of all, my breathing was much more controlled. I've noticed the control breathing a few times over the last two weeks when I rode. Typically in zone5 I'm breathing right at 65-75 breaths a minute. Today I was at 50-60. Yes, I count breaths, it's a distraction and something to focus my mind on. Anyhow, pretty interesting and very welcomed.
Red - 3 weeks ago
Green - today
Now I have to decide, race or no race.
