FOUNDATION 2.3 (01/23 – 01/29) TRAINING REPORT

The focus of this week’s training continues to be increasing endurance and leg strength. The result was a five point improvement in my Chronic Threshold Level (CTL), a measure of fitness, from 39 to 44. This was accomplished with three interval workouts of 4 x 10 minutes, 2 x 15 minutes, and 3 x 20 minutes, plus a 2.5 hour endurance workout. Also successfully completed two workouts of two sets of 10 repetitions of 10 pounds on six leg strength machines at my local fitness center.

HIGHLIGHTS: Each week typically consists of three or four interval cycling sessions, two recovery/endurance cycling sessions, two or three yoga sessions, and two strength machine sessions. All cycling sessions were completed indoors with my recumbent trike on a kinetic trainer connected to power pedals and a Garmin Edge 530 bike computer.
