Another 10% Increase in Weekly Mileage

Posted in Training Reports

FOUNDATION 1.2 REPORT (10/27 – 11/02)

HIGHLIGHTS: As previously noted, increasing weekly training mileage is ideally limited to roughly 10% of the previous week’s mileage. Last week, my total mileage was 87 miles. This week’s training mileage was 97.7 miles, almost reaching 100 miles, despite having a day off the trike on Thursday. As expected, my CTL also continued a slow increase from 30 to 31.

Next week, both my weekly mileage and CTL are scheduled to jump significantly when I include the first of the twice per month rehearsal rides leading up to the triple inaugural Guinness Ultracycling World Record attempts in April 2026.

All indoor cycling sessions were completed with my recumbent trike on a Kinetic by Kurt Road Machine smart trainer + Rouvy application. Two of three strength resistance workouts were completed.
