Period 1 – Week 6 Training Report
PERIOD 1 – WEEK 6 (11/11 – 11/17) TRAINING REPORT
HIGHLIGHTS: This was the sixth of six weeks commencing winter training for the 2020 race season. The aim of the first six-week block is to rebuild and extend a strong aerobic base, and to re-establish all over body fitness, strength, and flexibility. However, this week continued the rehabilitation of my right hip and right knee from a fall at the start of this training period. Physical therapy was making progress when, during Tuesday’s warmup exercises, I strained a muscle in my right foot between the heel and ankle. The rest of the week’s training was restricted to virtual indoor rides on the power trainer.
