Period 1 – Week 5 Training Report

Posted in Training Reports

PERIOD 1 – WEEK 5 (12/05 – 12/11) TRAINING REPORT

Still waiting for confirmation of the September 9, 2023, date for my three world record attempts on a nearby velodrome track. In the meantime, I’ve calculated that I have to average 18.4 mph for six hours to finish with 110 miles, one mile farther than the winner of my age-group recumbent category at the World Time Trial Championship at Borrego Springs last month. His finishing distance of 109.2 miles for six hours was not certified as a world record by the World Ultracycling Association or the Guiness Books of Records. He was also riding a two-wheel recumbent, not a trike.

HIGHLIGHTS: Each week consists of four specific cycling sessions, two recovery cycling sessions, and two strength/yoga sessions. All cycling sessions were completed indoors with my recumbent trike on a smart trainer with the Zwift or Rouvy applications.

Tuesday’s Z3 2×12 Minute Intervals workout was 19.71 miles in 1:09:25. Average speed was 17.0; maximum speed was 23.7 mph. Average power was 94 watts; maximum power was 129 watts.
