Training Stagnated?
It’s been a strange couple of weeks. I’ve never really felt fresh. The injury niggles are still hanging around but but not turning into serious show stoppers. I feel as though I’ve drifted along without focus. I have completed the last 2 track sessions with Bristol West and actually didn’t run too badly, despite my legs feeling heavy and sore. I could do with starting a track session with fresh legs to see if I can hit a better consistent pace.
I have hit a few decent turbo sessions but the bike sessions in between have been hard to fit in with work. All this said, I completed a key Duathlon session and was quite happy with the performance. I should use this session as a measure of future fitness. The session was: GCN warm up 20 min. Then 5 sets of (2 min hard (115% FTP), 3 min SS, 1k run increasing pace each rep. I’ve done similar sessions to this over the years but the 5 min bike efforts are harder than previous versions of this session. The 2 min efforts were all around 280W. I did struggle to maintain the power in the last 2 sets. So today was a good benchmark. The SS for 3 mins were all around 220W.
Can’t remember when the next race is. Best get organised.
