Posted in Training Reports

BASE 2 – WEEK 7 (01/31 – 02/06) TRAINING REPORT

HIGHLIGHTS: The goal for this training period is to continue slowly increasing time in the saddle, as well as lower body strength training and a 20-minute yoga routine three times weekly aimed at strengthening my shoulders and lower back. All workouts were conducted indoors with the Zwift application.

COMMENTS: I have completed 19 weeks of training, all indoors, since October 6, 2021 when I was cleared by my doctors to resume physical activity. Total mileage to date has reached 1,644 miles. My weekly mileage averages 150+ miles, roughly what I was averaging prior to the accident. Brief (1-2 minutes) intervals at race pace still leave me gasping for breath afterwards. But, we’ll work on this in the next training block leading up to the first race of the season.
