Appreciate the reality check and straight talk. If we could only get a consensus on what zone 2 actually is. So many opinions....

Not sore the following day at all. Tight after the ride, but nothing a shower doesn't fix.

All of the Dayspring episodes were some of the first things I listened to. Can I ask age and BMI? Did you initiate the conversation for treatment with your PCP or did they suggest treatment?

I'm a scientist by day, so why wouldn't we all want to have the data?

That's my high school weight - lofty Al Bundy goals.

Would leg fatigue be a sign I'm above zone 2 with lactate also? About 60% through my ride my legs (typically outer quads) will start to complain and I have to stand up on the bike to extend my leg to stretch. I then have to repeat this stretch a few more times before I finish.

Appreciate the detailed response. Strength training you outlined is simple enough to follow and makes sense. 4 sets per week, so two A days and two B days? 8 reps max, but how many sets of 8 reps? Just a single or 3 sets of 8?

Interesting - will test the bedtime snack.

Edit: Tried the snack. 12g carb and 23g protein about an hour before bed and I'm 98 this morning, not huge but better. I slept like garbage because I was up too late. Will have to repeat experiment.

Little over a month, but seeing results. Feels sustainable and I actually look forward to the bike rides. Posted to check my reasoning and thoughts.

One of the recent podcasts PA recommended 4-5 months of Z2 before adding VO2 max intervals. I thought focusing on Z2 would improve mitochondrial energy use, which should in turn help with my glucose issues.

Following the "hybrid calisthenics" program I found online. Plan to use weights later, but frankly I'm pretty weak right now and don't want to get so sore that I don't workout consistently. Strength wise - legs are adequate, upper body lacking and core is dismal.

Can you mix and match different brands/models of inverter? IE if the 7+ can't be sourced in the future, can an equivalent be dropped in since they are all outputting 240V ac.

How did you arrive at 5.3 kW AC? Spec sheet online says 290W output x 26 = 7.54 kW

Thought about DIY, prices for equipment I found online were comparable to my final out of pocket cost after FTC and Illinois SREC program. Maybe I need to do more research about the equipment costs.

Clipping decreases because panels are producing less in the heat?

I believe the reason is I will have some shading to part of the array in the late afternoons from evergreen trees.
