I'm a bit testy lately. I mow down any obstacles that prevent me from completing my goals by the end of the month.

I've been in Base 2 training for a week and have been doing some sub-LT intervals. Training in Base 1 was 'whee-fun' and training in Base 2 is 'when is this interval going to be over?'. Zone 3 is at 165ish for me and that is fairly tolerable but is hard enough work to cause a pool of sweat on the floor beneath my trainer. Zone 4 is right at sub-LT (173-175) and it hurts real bad to sustain for ten minutes. My focus from here on out is going to be strength and muscular endurance. I have one more week of hypertrophy in weight training and the next week starts the strength cycle. I totally can wait. It hurts just thinking about it.
