Today marked my achievement of getting to the 5 minute barrier. The last minute hurt, and my legs were getting ready to shut down by the end. I’m thinking that I may do additional 5 minute reps at this power output until the duration starts to feel a little easier. It’s probably not realistic to expect one minute improvements every time I get on the bike.
It does feel great to set a goal and then meet it, even if it does represent a baby step towards my overall goal.
