I like to ask myself - "What's the 'Fastest' way to get to my XSS goal, while keeping FOCUS infinitely aerobic, and keep fat burning at or ahead of Carbs?
I set my trainer to ERG mode, and rode 190 watts the entire ride....
Today's ride was about fat burning and XSS. I made my points for the Xert Training Deficit, and kept my needle between 11 and 1 o'clock on the Training Pacer.

The Xert Adaptive Training Advisor and Training Pacer built me up to a higher level of preparation, for sure. This week, I will transfer over from "Build", to "Peak" in the Xert Adaptive Training Program.
The Target Date is still November 14th. That's when Tracy and I will attempt to summit Truck Route 341 yet again - this time, with a breakthrough in the 20-25 minute range in mind. I'm not worried about time. We both just want to set 20MMP Records that coincide with the Power-Duration Predictions at those levels.
The Xert Adaptive Training Advisor has helped me stay on target. The Training Pacer remains between 11 and 1 O'clock. I've had few days off, but I'm ready to see what the Xert Adaptive Training Program has laid out for me as I transition from "Build", to "Peak".
It will be interesting to see what Xert's Adaptive Training Program lays out. I'm looking forward to the intervals, but I also want to build my own.
Take a look at the Xert "Weekly Stats" page, inside of the "Xert Planner" menu.

Xert ATA (Adaptive Training Advice) for Saturday, October 10th, 2020
The Xert ATA and Training Pacer Rainbow Dial are showing that I am roughly 101 XSS in the hole. The workout goal is set to 166 XSS. The Focus recommendation is "Endurance".
I took yesterday off, but the Xert Adaptive Training Advisor looks at my previous Saturdays, and it has planned a good over-reach ride for me.
The Adaptive Training Advisor has been pretty predictable, and while I am tired, I'm not overtrained.
Xert ATA - Post Ride
Well, the Xert ATA wanted 166 points?

Xert XSS in the Xert Adaptive Training Advisor is recommending 76 points of completely aerobic base.
My FOCUS is set for "Endurance".
I earn roughly 1 Xert XSS point per 9 or 10 Kilojoules of work, at about 170 watts of power. There usually is not enough time in my day to head out for an easy road ride. SO, I will probably perform this ride indoors.
The Xert XSS recommendation for the day is at 76 points. FOCUS is "Endurance", which is purely aerobic.
I DO miss having some intervals right now, however, so I may chuck the suggestions out the window and perform some intervals to get the points, and maybe try for a breakthrough.

The beauty of this XSS goal comes when you're fit and you know you don't need too much, to stay on target. Xert FOCUS goal was set to 13:36, which is also fairly aerobic.
But I do love my mountain biking, especially climbing.
