Critique welcome
I just posted my typical weeks worth of training on my blog (last week). I would appreciate some comments/critique. I think it's solid, but any input is appreciated. FYI, I just did my first L5 training attempt today (5x 4 min @ 110%) and it went well. Please be constructive and civil.
 CTL: 80 TSB: -20 TSS for that week: 690

I guess the big question is: How'd it feel? Is that something you could do for 6 weeks straight, and is there a little left in there to fine tune for racing? |

My last years CTL high was 92 at which point I felt very fatigued. I'm currently sitting 80 which I didn't reach until almost mid-May last year. To be honest, I don't know how long I can keep this up, but I suspect I may need an easy week soon. I'm trying to have an early peak for couple of races at the end of April, but if I don't have at least 100 CTL to taper from it probably ain't happenin'. That's about 3 point a week between now and then so we'll see.

Re: Critique welcome
I don't think you'll burn out but maybe taking the recovery rides a little easier might be appropriate.
I don't get the reasoning behind chopping off Tuesdays last 25min effort and going harder for 10mins. Keep the effort at the desired level and try and keep proper form as long as possible and then add a few minutes. Just remember that when things get that bad then looking at the watch one second longer and being able to tell yourself that you have "4 minutes and change" rather than 5 minutes helps a little... that's what I do. Maybe Mondays recovery ride was a little bit more than "recovery" in the middle - maybe getting upto ~260 watts at the end of the second block just knocked the stuffing out of your legs but nothing lost, you'll know to save the heroics for the last set next time. I'm guessing Slayer's Raining Blood and Metallica's Battery kicked in on Wednesdays ride around 48 minutes and 1:05 respectively.  Looks like the legs died a little after that last peak... |
