FOUNDATION 3.1 (03/06 – 03/12) TRAINING REPORT
The focus of this week’s training continued with endurance workouts in the big (53t) chainring with an additional day of training. My Chronic Threshold Level (CTL), a measure of fitness, has stabilized at 56, a level almost equalling my CTL of 57 at the time of my crash back on June 27, 2021. This was accomplished with a 3 x 10 minute tempo and a 2 x 20 minute tempo workouts, plus 6+ hours of endurance workouts.
HIGHLIGHTS: All cycling sessions were completed indoors with my recumbent trike on a kinetic trainer connected to either Garmin Vector 3 power pedals and a Garmin Edge 530 bike computer or a Kinetic smart trainer + Rouvy application.
