Update on Illness Fitness and Consistency

A quick update. I rode outside last Friday and had a great ride. I did 2 hours with my buddy Dennis. The goal was a 5x5s at 100% to 110% of LT. I was able to ride above my LT with ease, in fact the entire ride was done at tempo/zone 3 or greater. (For you non VQers that is riding at 3/4 max heart rate for the entire ride.)

I also went to the muscle doc who said, "man you have a small butt." My reply "Yaaaaaaah; eye roll." He said I was looking better and was more balanced but I needed to get more glutes into the action and less paraformis.

So the life of the amateur cyclist continues; more squats, more dead bug exercises, less paraformis and plenty of bike time. But I am feeling better and seeing some results. Its great to be on the upswing.
