Frustrations

I was hoping to report on my lab test which I did on Monday (25th) night. But, (sigh...) I'm still waiting for it to be sent to me. How frustrating! Had I known it would take this long I would've looked elsewhere to get tested.

Anyway, before I can safely publish my 'next' post called: "My results are out!", I can tell you that the readings where a little disappointing. I did a ramp (including lactate) and max test. For the ramp, we discussed that my sustainable power output was down from 430 to around 390 watts. We never discussed the max test, which consisted of constant cadence with 30watt increments for 9 minutes.

So, two things have come out of this:

1. I need to do some work on high level intensity: 80-90% of max HR range (my base is sound)
2. Don't always rely on University labs to provide you with a professional service - it can be hit and miss. (this is a generalisation on my part of course)

Hopefully, I'll be able to report on the official finding soon....
