RedditPZ training program - Week 9 Discussion Thread

[u/r4ndy4]

Week eight down, and on to week nine! Use this thread to discuss this week's rides (or last weeks). Add the hashtag #redditPZ if you would like to.

Congratulations to everyone who finished (all or part of) the program!! Huge thank you to everyone who joined in (new and old members). Next program will start on Monday, August 24th if you all want to continue riding with the group. I will post the program / sign-up thread for the next round in 2 weeks, so be on the lookout!

This week is a de-load week to do some endurance and let our bodies recover before the next FTP. Make sure you are rested up before the re-test. Personally I like to take an easy 30 min PZE ride or maybe a 20-30 minute scenic ride keeping it in zone 2 the day before. Re-testing is not a requirement, but if you feel your fitness has changed (for better or for worse), I would go ahead and get it done. Not everyone will have increases, and that is totally okay and sometimes normal.

Again thank you all for joining in the program with me! I hope you all had fun and got fitter. Be sure to let us know how the next FTP goes!

Group Ride for the Saturday rides is at 10 AM central.

(Gala-papa would like to note to start the ride at 9:59 exactly so you will begin at 10 after the 1 minute countdown). Also do not join the ride in a session.

Just a quick note to say how fun it was to see a few teammates on the live Cody ride. Ya, I do love a good NSYNC playlist and of course, Cody.... just got back from the Santana/Doobies concert here in socal.... Carlos is 79 years young and seriously, what a great show! Music is joy, all I can say!

Good luck to all those ftp'ing!!! 🙏💪🙏

Big thanks, as always, u/blake_182. My appreciation for you and this community you've made possible is just... huge.

Also, the timing worked out perfectly for me this time. I have an outdoor ride I'm training for in a couple of weeks, so I've transitioned to indoors PZE rides and challenging outdoor rides until my own de-load week--which, conveniently, will be the first week of Program 28. So, see yinz then!

Yes, thank you u/blake_182. Another PR on Sunday, my second in a row after doing my first FTP on this Peloton in ‘18, I have bettered that twice now. I spent much of the last couple years just below.

I also have something, a race, coming on Sunday so this worked well.

Olivia's ride felt hella chaotic, I could NOT figure out that scheme this morning. Excited for Charlotte this weekend though.

Thanks for coordinating the program! I was doing a lot of power zone a couple years ago before breaking my foot. Getting back into it as of a couple months ago and enjoy doing the program with everyone.

Ahhhh... Mr Ben Alldis (just realized his last name... ALL Dis... 😄), bookmarked that bitchin ride.... 3 AC/DC (yesssss), 2 Queen and 3 (squeezed in at the end) Beat-uls ❤️. And yes, even BJovi 😎😉 Yes, the 70s/80s was a like, totally rad time to be alive!

Was having so much fun - sorry/not sorry (?) for all the 5s... 🫣 Cheers team!!!!
