Transition – Week 2 Training Report

Posted in Training Reports

TRANSITION – WEEK 2 TRAINING REPORT (09/04 – 09/10)

On Thursday, September 7th, I unveiled a countdown timer to my triple world record attempts a year from now. Specifically, I want to average 17+ mph on an outdoor track in order to complete 100 kilometers (62.14 miles) in 3:39:00; 100 miles in 5:53:00; 102 miles in 6:00:00. All of these results will qualify as Guinness World Records in my 75-79 age group.

Next week, I will start weight training three times a week for the next 30 weeks. The first eight weeks will be focused on periodized muscular endurance. The goal will be to increase my cadence and power so that I remain aerobic at 17 mph for 6 hours.

HIGHLIGHTS: All cycling sessions were completed indoors with my recumbent trike on a Kinetic by Kurt Road Machine smart trainer + Rouvy application.
