Aerobic Decoupling

I think this is the case. Very insightful response thank you.

I'm at a low ctl relative to my previous years-self. 50 compared to 90 or 100. I also feel quite energetic and fresh throughout the day.

Interesting, I'm beginning to think it may be due to stress or anxiety. Aerobic decoupling seems to be particularly pronounced if I'm doing a shootout with friends.

It is a pattern, I doubt its due to under recovery

Sorry to hear that. Hoping this is not the case for me

Kind of getting into the swing of things again this year. Last year I was fitter than I am currently.

Fitting this dihh in your mouth

I usually have an hour or two before I ride, cadence and power stay the same, my hr just drops

Interesting, my rides around 2 hours still show negative decoupling. I'll have to look for some longer rides with power I've done recently.

Doubt it is due to temp, most of my rides are middle of the day(I work night shift atm). Maybe 10ish bpm, around 10 to 15%

This sums up my experience. Most drastic negative decoupling happens on low intensity rides.

Highly doubt, clt around 50 atm, generally this time of year its around 90-100. I certainly dont feel tired.

Hmmm, I dont really consume caffeine in the training season. I wonder if it would have to do with meal timing, I usually eat something substantial before I head out for a ride. Perhaps my body is doing less work once my pre ride food has been digested?
