After a pretty light week due to some illness and a long 12 mile hike yesterday, I did 30 seconds on and off X 25 today. Average power was 417 for all 25, 425 for the last 15 and 430 for the last 10. Best I have felt in a couple of weeks.

While taking some online courses for my USAC Cycling Coaches CEU requirements, I found this interesting one on the aging athlete. Nothing too surprising but just re-affirms the inevitable decline in power, especially after age 60. Keeping up with the strength training, keeping the high intensity training on the calendar and, limiting the accumulation of

A warm day with a noon temperature in the 60’s so I headed out to get in some intervals. Did 8:00 at 325 quickly followeed by 4:00 at 328 and then 30sec at 432, 477 and 508. All with about 30sec to a minute between.

With the large turnout expected at this Sundays first Indoor TT, I wanted to keep track of my two age group records. I suspect the 50-59 will fall.

After a 15 minute warmup I did 10×1 min on and off at 375w, then 5 min easy, then 5 x 30sec on 15sec off X 5 at 355w. Hadn’t done much over the last week due to illness. Nothing serious but no hard efforts for about 5-6 days.

Rode just under 15,000 miles and hiked close to 1000 miles in 2025. In races, I was able to win the 60-64 OH USAC state tt, the OH OSO 5k and 10k, the KY 5k, the TN 5k, the SC 5 and 10k, the WI 5k and silver in the 10k and two silvers in

A good effort on a 6.25 mile Rio course at 330w, HR in the 160’s, peaking at 172.

Today intervals were 12:00 warmup, 30sec on-15sec off x 25, 355w avg; 2:00 easy; 3:00 at 330w; 2:00 easy; 3:00 at 300w: 2:00 easy; 1:00 at 404w; cool down

Didn’t get big miles in FL last week but the miles I did get I made count. I used the road at the resort to do some interval training with short, 1-3 minute efforts, at 350-420w. Took it easy this weekend back in OH. Today I did a 10k at 315w and a 4k at

Same raod, same segments and about the same results.
