Posted in Training Reports

BASE 3 – WEEK 2 (06/13 – 06/19) TRAINING REPORT

Trained with the race crankset and 11-speed cassette this week and achieved a personal record on the World Time Trial Championship “big loop,” surpassing my fastest previous time using my standard road bike several weeks ago. As expected, my average speed was 20.2 mph with a maximum speed on the downhill sections of 31.1 mph. My focus now shifts to preparation for resuming my race season next weekend with my new recumbent racing trike.

HIGHLIGHTS: The goal for this training period is to continue focusing on endurance and tempo intervals alternating with recovery rides. Continuing a 20-minute yoga routine two or three times weekly aimed at strengthening my shoulders and lower back. The trainer workouts were conducted indoors with the Zwift or Rouvy applications.
