Base 1 – Week 4 Training Report

BASE 1 – WEEK 4 (10/31 – 11/06) TRAINING REPORT

As noted last week, this is my final week of training with Coach Tingley. I will resume Coach Cooper’s endurance-based training plan next week for the balance of the 2023 race season. My doctor has referred my high blood pressure diagnosis to his Clinical Pharmacy Team for medication recommendations. I was able to double my mileage over the previous week after moving my trike to the basement.

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.
