Structured Training in 2018

[HLaB]

I think Ive finally got the answer to why Ive been down on power for a bit, then dramatically down on power last Sunday. I've been putting it down as stress. Turns out it was a haemhorroid I passed last Saturday. Being light whilst Ive had discomfort (I put it down to rear end shunt from a car 5 years back when the symptoms began) it's not been debilitating. My first TT of the season on Saturday without too much structured training could be very interesting

This is why I like trainer road. I am on a rest week next week so I have 3 recovery rides to do .

Never felt there was much recovery in the recovery weeks of the TR triathlon plans - I can’t speak to the bike plans.

For example, I’m on a recovery week this week - total TSS on the bike is only ten less than last week. Each of the runs are only five minutes less. About 2o mins less swim over the week.

In my mind, a recovery week would be about half the usual effort.

Ooch! Take it easy fella!

Trainer road call it active recovery. Where doing something is better than just having a week of the bike.

I’m on a recovery week with TR. Then I’m going to mess it up with a little Audax on Sunday.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Set of high dose aerobic capacity intervals today. First set after retesting power thresholds. Suitably hard.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Lactate threshold intervals today. Nice and steady and heart rate towards end if each interval pretty much the same. Average power above the level of my FTP before retest. Happy with new levels to work at. Seem to be suitably taxing whilst achievable.

 

[Tin Pot]

So much for recovery week, seem to have pulled my hamstring during run intervals on Tuesday.

Not sure whether to turbo today or not.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Hill intervals today. Hard but enjoyed them.

 

[Chappy]

30 mile outdoor ride today to end a recovery week. 2 days of the bike now I have an FTP retest on Monday.

Anyone on TR this weekend? I can’t see any rides on Team CC Forum for some reason.

Hamstring seems to be okay so did an hour of muscular endurance intervals this morning. Might put in a few more rides to catch up on the training plan but realise I’m risking more injury.

I haven’t ever been able to see those rides although I’m on there. Did my last recovery ride a day early yesterday and today I’m resting up before a lumpy Audax tomorrow.

I have played sport and had a physical job most of my life. I would err on the side of caution with a hamstring. GWS @Tin Pot

Cheers and no, no rides are showing in the team ride feed. I’ve checked the preferences are still correct so I’ve emailed TR support.

 

[Tin Pot]

They’re working on it

We are currently having trouble with the team ride feed. Our developers are aware of the issue and are working on a fix. I don't have an ETA on a fix just yet, but hopefully we'll have it up and running normally soon.

More aerobic capacity intervals high dose. Settled into it well with the music playing away. Lactate Threshold intervals planned for Thursday. Last week of base then moving onto my first build phase. Really starting to notice the difference in fitness.
