Hi All, I've been reading your forum for a while and have finally been able to get a powertap hub to help with my training.
If possible I'd like some ideas on training sessions for the next 12 weeks of base. Your input and experience would be appreciated.
Some background.
- I've just come back to the bike after a year off.
- I've been building up the hours and am at 10 per week.
- I completed my first FTP test 4 weeks ago which was 228.
- Before the year off I was a 600 hour a year rider.
- I'm reading the cyclist training bible at the moment and training and Racing with a power meter.
- I'm 40 years old and 70kg
- My limiter is strength endurance. My stength is climbing. (I get smashed on the flats buy the bigger guys)
My first planned week would look like this.
12 hours
Monday - Day Off
Tuesday - 2 - Hours (higher Intensity)
Wednesday - 45 min or 1 1/2 Hours (Rollers or Flat Spin)
Thrusday - 2 - 2 1/2 Hours (higher Intensity)
Friday - 1 1/2 Hours (medium Intensity)
Saturday - Group Ride - 3 hours (usually tempo)
Sunday - Coffee Shop Run or Occassional Race 1 1/2hours
This would be the first week of Base 1 second Week is 14.5 hours third is 16 hours.
Thanks
