hardest week yet. yikes!
status: fat but fit. Big BUILD week. Hardest week yet. If I come through it, I will earn 2 recovery days. If I wuss out, only 1 day should be needed.
Weather came around and I should be fresh enough to put myself into a big hole. Hoping to see my CTL hit 85 for the first time this season. here’s this weeks plan:
m: recovery commute 25′ @ z0
tu: AM: explosive upperbody lifting.
PM: VO2max hills @ 114-116%. 4′ x 6rep x 4′RIs 30′ of z2 to start and finish the session. 2 hours total.
w: AM: Core work
PM: 3 hours z2, a few z3 intervals if the legs feel nice.
th: AM: Core work
PM: Recovery commute @ z0
fr: LTP “push” workout. Dont know exactly the WO, but it should be pretty tough. I’m thinking that I’m going to get zoned in @ 90-94% by feel and go until my pedal stroke feels choppy. Hopefully a 45-75′ SST interval. These workouts are fun, as I’m flirting with LTP for the entirety of the interval and I get very familiar with what riding on the rivet feels like. Great breakaway training.
2 hours total.
Sat: 2 hour GR with z2 to warm up/cool down. 3-4 hours by feel.
Sun: hopefully 2-4 hours strict z2 as my legs should be toast. May turn into a nice 90′ JRA session with my GF.
Planned hours: 14-15.5
Planned TSS: 800-900
Planned KJs: 10,000 – 11,500
IT HAS BEEN WRITTEN!
