Base 1 – Week 1 Training Report

BASE 1 – WEEK 1 (10/10 – 10/16) TRAINING REPORT

I’ve set up a training area in my new two-car garage. Unfortunately, the garage is not heated, so I’ve had to experiment with space heaters aimed at my feet. With winter’s freezing temperatures on the horizon, I’ve shifted my workouts from early morning to late afternoons when the west-facing garage door has absorbed enough heat to raise the ambient temperature by upwards of 20 degrees. I still have the option of relocating the trike to the basement. I will need a buddy’s help to wrestle it into the house and down the basement stairs.

HIGHLIGHTS: The goal for this training period is a mix of interval workouts with long endurance efforts. Continuing a 20-minute yoga routine three times weekly aimed at strengthening my shoulders and lower back. The smart trainer workouts were conducted indoors with the Zwift or Rouvy applications.
