FOUNDATION 2.2 TRAINING REPORT (01/15 – 01/21)

HIGHLIGHTS: Continued slow, steady increase in mileage and interval effort. Weekly cycling mileage has increased to 122 miles. My Chronic Training Load (CTL) jumped up another three points from 43 to 46. This was the second week that included two-a-day workouts on Saturday. Next week is a recovery week leading up to a 2-hour non-stop endurance interval workout on Saturday. This particular workout will include testing various hydration formulas and bladder catheter practice.

This week’s training included seven workouts on the trike and two strength workouts. The strength workouts are focusing on my upper body/core while waiting for my knees to be treated with injection therapy.

All cycling sessions were completed indoors with my recumbent trike on a Kinetic by Kurt Road Machine smart trainer + Rouvy application.
