Cycle Log: Intensity Phase Week 3

Week 3 is the third week of the first mesocycle of my 2012 Intensity Phase (click here for a detailed description of macrocyles, mesocycles and microcycles), which means it is a recovery week.  Here are the actual workouts with the plan for the week of January 16-22, 2012 (click here to download my plan for the Intensity Phase).

Week of 1/16/12 Mon Tues Wed Th Fri Sat Sun Total
Goal TT Test 1.5 2.0 Tempo OFF 1.0 AR OFF 1.0 AR OFF 5.5
Actual TT Test 1.0 1.75 Tempo OFF 1.0 AR OFF 1.25 AR OFF 5.0

 

I had an awesome indoor field test on Monday.  I tied my personal best for distance covered in 30-minutes, a record I set last August as I was peaking for the championship events at the end of the season.   I covered almost a ½ mile more distance compared to an indoor field test I did one year ago.  I am way ahead of last year’s pace!  I had a great Tempo ride on Tuesday and then I recovered for the next five days (although I didn’t feel very tired).  I start the race season one week from today at the Race Against Time Picacho Peak Time Trial.  I’ll let you know how it goes.  Have a great week!
