I’m 8 weeks out from my A race and I want to add a little more structure to my training. I completed base earlier this year and had good results but when the weather got nicer I couldn’t resist the urge to get outside and ride. Needless to say my structured training plan fizzled out. I had a solid summer and race season with some of my best results ever (top 5 in every cat 2 race). I want to refocus and get back into structured training before my A race. My question is do I jump into specialty or do I mix a build / specialty for the next 8 weeks?
just because you ride outside doesn’t mean that you need to can the training. Next time, simulate the workouts outdoors! You’ll do great!
congrats, that’s awesome!
do two 4 week blocks that 1) target power requirements for the A race and 2) focus on your weaknesses.
Look at your w/kg over all durations to see where you might need some work, or your CP curve.
If you’re on Training Peaks we can link up if you need any help.
Cheers,
Brendan
