Week 6 is the third week of the second mesocycle of my 2012 Intensity Phase (click here for a detailed description of macrocyles, mesocycles and microcycles). Here are the actual workouts with the plan for the week of February 6-12, 2012 (click here to download my plan for the Intensity Phase).
| Week of 2/6/12 | Mon | Tues | Wed | Th | Fri | Sat | Sun | Total |
| Goal | 1.0 AR | OFF | 1.0 AR | OFF | VOS TT 14.2 M | 1.0 AR | OFF | 4.5 |
| Actual | 1.0 AR | OFF | 1.0 AR | OFF | VOS TT 14.2 M | OFF | 1.0 AR | 4.5 |
This was primarily a recovery week, but I also had my biggest racing test of the new season at the Valley of the Sun Time Trial. This is a 14.2 mile TT that climbs about 250 feet on the outbound leg. Last year, I completed the course in 39:17. I have had every indication that I am much stronger now, which is why this was such an important test. I believe I passed with flying colors as I completed the course in 37:04, which is a 2:13 improvement! This is going to be a really good season. I have a hard week coming up. I’ll let you know how it goes. Have a great week!
