Build 1 – Week 4 Training Report

Posted in Training Reports

BUILD 1 – WEEK 4 (09/05 – 09/11) TRAINING REPORT

With two weeks left in the 2022 season, I am only 50 miles short of my annual mileage goal of 6,150 miles. If I continue logging 180+ mile weeks over the last two weeks of the season, I will complete my sixth longest mileage year in the past 23 years, surpassed only by my first five years as a competitive cyclist when I averaged roughly 8,400 miles per year. I’m going to see if I can log 6,500 miles before I take a week off the bike.

HIGHLIGHTS: The goal for this training period is strength maintenance through the end of the season (in two weeks). 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.
