Default Recovery Week
Time limits on training imposed by moving house plus a sinus infection change the training focus. This week is no longer about adding to my fitness. Instead, I am trying to stop any decline.
Detailed Training Plan - Surfcoast Century
Here it is. This is the document that is guiding my preparation for the Surfcoast Century. For a training plan it goes beyond a simple spreadsheet marked with distances and a couple of footnotes. It is a little more detailed than is seen in magazines or on the internet. Quite a wordy description of how the plan is to be put together and executed is what follows. It might seem complicated, and over prescriptive to some, but there is good reasoning behind this approach. First off the plan is just a guide and will be modified as needed. What the plan doesn't do is prescribe exact distances, speed and number of repeats. Instead it combines the intent of each training session and phase with what I believe will be the most likely style of training to get the adaptations I seek. The plan highlights what to look for to see appropriate progression or what may be problems in the mix. It gives guidelines on how the program should be modified based on how the training is progressing.

My goodness do I understand!! Stopping the decline, controlling the bleeding, seems to be my own training focus lately as well. I am retired and you would think that would make it easier...nah, not at all.
