Now, there’s a solid well balanced ride!
It’d been a while since I rode Butter and I’m sure glad I gave it another run. As I recall, Butter entered Sufferlandria at about the same time as The Chores (an equally fine workout) when I believe Grunter and his helpers started paying more attention to the science behind the workouts.
I find the intervals in this workout take me just to the edge, where (almost) all confidence is lost, then gives me a slight reprieve to the point where I (almost) think I can do it all over again. The sign of a good workout in my mind.
I’m also at a point where I have just upgraded to a smart trainer (Kickr Core) and am still in the tail end of recovery from a major surgery, so that could play a role here as well.
Again, a great workout, and a great test. After a few easier rides I’ll need to give The Chores another try.
Thanks for listening to my diatribe as I try to catch my breath…
