Posted in Training Reports

PERIOD 2 – WEEK 2 (12/11 – 12/17) TRAINING REPORT

HIGHLIGHTS: This was the buildup week of the second period of the 2018 season. The primary goal for this period is to continue the base period building all-round fitness and strength, and a strong endurance and aerobic base using efforts in Zone 2 (70%-80% MHR) and Zone 3 (80%-92% MHR). A secondary goal will be to increase training volume, not intensity. The weekday workouts were conducted indoors on a power trainer. The weekend workouts were conducted outdoors on a local bike trail.

Wednesday’s workout was a strength training session consisting of a 10-minute warmup on the bike, an assortment of 11 exercises, such as high-bench step-ups, one-leg squats, press-ups, and planks, followed by a 10-minute cooldown on the bike. Average speed was 15.5 mph; maximum speed was 16.4 mph. Average power was 75 watts; maximum power was 147 watts.

Thursday’s workout was an endurance and aerobic fitness effort consisting of five minutes at the top of Zone 2 (70%-80% MHR) followed by five minutes at the top of Zone 3 (80%-90% MHR), repeated three and a half times without any recovery between the pair of intervals. Average speed was 17.0 mph; maximum speed was 21.2 mph. Average power was 143 watts; maximum power was 505 watts.
