100 miles plus today with Sean McGrory. Started in Point Pleasant (where Chris Carville saw my truck along the river across from Grants Birthplace and sent me photo’s…is he stalking me?), took the ferry to Augusta, headed south on 435 before going northeast into Maysville, across the Simon Kenton Bridge to Aberdeen, north on 41 […]

Due to the cloudy, drizzling weather, I did these inside today. Averaged 293, 294, 295 each of the 20 minutes with HR at 139. 144 and 145. All in all, everything pretty much right in the zones. Will get that power up to 310-315 soon enough.
This is the time of the year when athletes start to consider hiring a coach. They’ve wrapped up their season, unless doing ‘cross, and want to improve their results in the upcoming year. I’ve been coached now for over 12 years and have been coaching others for 7 and there is a pattern I see

Rode a 22:11, 27 mph, at 364 watts avg with a 20 minute at 368 avg. Not bad for late in the year on another very windy evening. Will start working with my coach on setting up the winter training program with the idea of maximizing the power over the shorter courses for the state

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,
