Good question from an athlete I work with her in Cincinnati re how hard should I go in my training. My goal asa coach is to find those limits and push you beyond them. Looks like you had some fun with those! It does take some time to leaner what you can push for the […]

due to scheduling issues I wont be riding tomorrow so I did the 3×20 at tempo today and actually kind of made it a 1×60; had a few breaks for lights but that was about it. Avg for 1:02 was 310, NP was 329, 60 minutes at 316, 40 minutes at 325, 30 at 328,

Based on the Field test I did two weeks ago, 2×8 minutes, at an average of 390 watts these are the new training zones. Not looking forward to holding these inside this winter on the longer tempo and steady state. Interval Low High EM 180 301 Tempo 321 341 SS 345 361 CR 381 401

Rode 100 today from Gatlinburg to Cades Cove to Sugarlands to Chimney Tops Picnic Area back to Elkmont and then back to the chalet. Had about 7500′ of climbing. Could have gone longer….felt great all day.

54 miles, 6000’+ on the climbing…peak power: 10 minutes at 319, 15 at 315, 20 at 312, 30 at 299, 40 at 299, 60 at 288 and 90 at 282…and really not pushing it all that hard with the guys I’m with

Pretty decent time and very good power tonight. Rode a 22:43 and averaged 361 watts, 92 cadence. During warmup did a 4 minute effort at 388 just to see if the 2×8 Saturday was out of line. Given that hold a little lower power on my tt bike and that I could have gone longer,

Beautiful day here with temps in the upper 50’s to low 70’s so I did the field test early in the ride and then did a century. I’ll take tomorrow off. The field test went really well. I held 408 and 394 for each 8 minute effort. At first I thought my computer had to

interesting evening: rode one of my slowest times of the year at 23:06 but held 355 watts avg, one of my better efforts of the season; the cool temps, low 60’s, weren’t exactly condusive to fast times but wish that effort would have produced a better result; also, found a 2012 Cervelo P2, brand new,

Had problems with my power meter but got it going by the time I went off. Dropped my chain as I was about to do my track stand prior to going off (they don’t hold us). Took me 20 seconds into my start time to actually get going. Third tt in a row where I’ve

another dud evening…warmed up well and was riding well until I was stopped by some contruction on the road….nothing like having to come to a complete stop in a time trial while traffic came through our side of the road and then taking off again….oh well, still rode a 23:09…had to have lost 30-40 seconds….and,
