About this workout
First ride back after a 14-day bike-free layoff. Morning Warning 0/10, CTL 27. Focus: aerobic base - restart the CTL rebuild, the season's #1 FTP lever. Z2 is the session. The 3x5min at 80% in hour 2 is a DIAGNOSTIC, not a stimulus: it reads whether Saturday can carry a real ME4 sweet-spot set. Controlled and no fade = yes. A grind, or rep 3 sagging = no. Cadence 85-95 rpm. Power is a ceiling in Z2, not a target. Spin-ups folded into the ramp.
