BASE 3 – WEEK 1 (02/14 – 02/20) TRAINING REPORT

HIGHLIGHTS: The goal for this training period is to continue increasing time in the saddle with the addition of race-pace and anaerobic intervals and a 20-minute yoga routine two or three times weekly aimed at strengthening my shoulders and lower back. All workouts were conducted indoors with the Zwift application.

COMMENTS: Received and installed the Garmin Varia RTL515 Radar Tail Light to my race bike. Had moderate success with the race-pace and anaerobic intervals workout on Thursday. These three sets of sprint intervals included 5 x 40 seconds at 269 watts; 5 x 30 seconds at 304 watts; 5 x 55 seconds at 257 watts. The first two sets were anaerobic, while the third set was race-pace. My functional threshold power is 234 watts. I was concerned that I would have trouble catching my breath after each sprint, but that failed to materialized.
