Hi everyone, Tadej here. At 41, I suppose I’m entering my mid-life crisis era. But instead of buying a sports car, I’ve decided to see just how fast I can get while my body still allows for progress. I want to max out my potential rather than just coasting. My big ambition for the year is to finish a 300km bike marathon in late September. To do that, I need tweak my engine. My main reason for joining is to stop guessing, "set the base right," and embrace the necessary Z2 grind to become efficient. I want to build a foundation that lasts. I want to increase my 1-hour power by at least 3% in 12 weeks. (Going from 234W to 241W+). I have a desire to perform "better than average," but I know that training in isolation makes it easy to cut corners. This challenge changes that by leveraging the community to keep me accountable. I’m a data geek—I’m keen on measuring progress frequently to ensure I’m heading in the right direction, and this structure provides that. To increase my 1 hour power, I will complete more than 80% of my training as planned.

What ride comes to mind and why was it special?

Still feeling good so decided to do a light workout z1/2 on the spinningbike and some lower extremity strength exercises on low intensity. Keep crushing it guys, don’t remember you have to compensate for my missed miles
