Structured Training in 2018

[HLaB]

Cleaned the TT bike does that count as structured?

HRV App indicates body in recovery mode today. So defo no intervals. Easy walk in the mist me thinks

 

[Ming the Merciless]

More mist today, reckon the gorillas have moved in.

I’m trying out using the “Freeride” workout during outdoor rides today, it seems to be recording so far. Will be interesting if I can get a full commute ride into TR and see what stats it gives.

Started using Golden Cheetah software to track my fitness trends and workouts. I have found everything Training Peaks had and this software is free. Has some good charts showing VO2 trend, power trends, power curves by duration, and fitness vs. fatigue / freshness.

I used that a bit last year, but it’s quite manual and unintuitive.

It is only manual in terms of loading your workouts. But that is drag and drop or it can talk to gps direct. There are some good help videos online and that let me understand the bits I care about. I found it relatively intuitive but different people connect with different UIs. Also depends what you were trying to use it for.

No luck. TR stopped recording seven or twelve minutes into each ride and missed one altogether.

I’ll put the bike computer back on and do the whole golden cheetah thing next time.

It’s a shame you can’t record power rides into TR without Strava Premium.

How did the Audax go @YukonBoy ?

 

[Tin Pot]

50mins hill run yesterday lunch, 2hr commute home with long sub FTP intervals (according to Strava anyway). Felt hard. Very hungry. Slept well.

How did the Audax go @YukonBoy ?

Went well. Easy day today, just a nice local walk. Fitness coming along nicely.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Hill repeats today, an hours worth. Lega tired from Audax over weekend but managed to keep at it for the hour set aside.

 

[Chappy]

Back into another recovery week today. Need to rest up a bit ready for the dreaded FTP test on Monday and the start of my specialty plan .

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Sneaked in a few hill repeats this evening as travelling next couple of days with little opportunity to get any sessions in.

Always good to up the TSS if there is a break in training coming up.
