Training Status: Building again!
So, I’m back!!
After some fun racing after a dissapointing peak for BKR, I took a week or two pretty easy and unstructured, lots of just riding around.
2 weeks agao I started to reestablish my BASE by sticking in as many hours in that nice TEMPO zone as posible. I also wanted to/felt the need to re develop my ability to produce serious power while seated (as in climbing) so I started doing a few Summit intervals @ VO2max power, nothing crazy, just developing that strong push/pul of tough climbing.
After a wedding weekend and 3 days off the bike, I started my real training on Wed of this week with a killer two-a-day. This was:
AM: 90′ @ 90% (325w) with 20 minute or so near LT, but mainly just really hard tempo riding, JENS-shit. ya know. Feelin strong.
PM: 6 repeats of summit @ 440w (123% of LTP) with coast down recoveries. Killin’ it. Last rep I stood up and did 480. Done! Limped home after this one.
Took thursday off and did a nice recovery spin (a few moments in z1-2) this AM with the MOVER for an hour. Legs need rest to get stronger.
Planning on a great block of intensity this weekend with the CRW 42 driving the pace as much as possible and then Wells A race sunday, working on some recovery methods saturday, starting to get ready for the StageRace, by assembling blocks of training that mimic the demands of stage racing.
That said, I’m planning a peak for the SR, but not as intensly as last season as I hope to have a fresher, more fun end of the season. Dont want to burn out.
Goals are set as such: keep training to be the best breakaway artist possible (harder now as guys are figuring me out now…)
Race for fun with teammates as they upgrade!!! yeah boyzzzz
see how high I can get my FTP
Throw down some super fast TTs, if I wanna.
Climb well enough to not get dropped from the breaks I want to be in!
HAVE FUN!!! (this is huge for me as I love the sport and dont want to ruin it for myself) the weather is stellar and I want to savor it!!
nice to post again!!
Keep killin it, THRESHOLDers!!!
