(Next year I'll be a "young forty")
As you get older, the decline in your body shows up clearly in the data,
so you can't really look away from the truth either... it makes me sad
In my 20s, my 100km NP during rides used to be north of 270-280,
these days even hitting 240-250 feels like I'm about to die
Even though I hit 310 for a 20-minute power test at the end of last year, maybe it's just age,
but putting out high power, recovering right away, and then putting out high power again is really hard now
Hitting NP of 270-280 like I used to is just completely impossible now..
Can't hit the high heart rates I used to either..
Lately I've been thinking that having your physical ability turned into data and staring you in the face through power meter/heart rate numbers isn't purely a good thing ㅠㅠㅋㅋ
