Hi

L3 ride felt pretty good tonight, certainly not distressing @ 245W. Average HR virtually identical to the last one of these I did which was on 19.10.2007 so I guess I'm now returning to where I was before my "break" or maybe I've still a bit to come. Certainly felt Ok tonight, measured my blood lactate level at the end of the 60 minutes of L3 and it was 2.6mmol/l which is a lot more sensible. My gut feeling is that when you don't train for a bit one of the first things to "go" or reverse is your lactate buffering capability, I've read that muscle enzyme activity starts to fall off after 24-48 hours!
