A “Relaxing” 67 Mile Training Week

Posted in Training Reports

FOUNDATION 3.2 REPORT (12/22 – 12/28)

HIGHLIGHTS: The last time I had a “relaxing” recovery week with less than 70 miles logged was the week of October 13-19, two months ago. Coach felt it was time to take a short break before we start the buildup to a 4-hour rehearsal ride at the end of January. The triple Guinness world record attempt is only 16 weeks away. I have been working on a “Plan B” in the event that the Detroit Velodrome attempt does not happen due to any number of logistical complications, such as the lack of a pair of certified officials.

My National Senior Games (NSG) 2026 January Athlete of the Month article should be available by the end of next week. The writer told me that his deadline was Saturday, January 4th. It will be the subject of a “breaking news” post, which will include a link to the article on the NSG website.
