Finally finished week 2 of the training programme.. hour and twenty minute session – tempo training.

Cadence good again. Think might recalibrate kickr core again soon just to be sure it is still ok..

May start week three tomorrow, or perhaps Thursday

Actually yesterday.. quick spin around the hilly route on Watopia.. 20 mins.

Cadence good.

Wk2 day 3

Foundation

Higher cadence is easier again today!

When out in the MTB for an hour or so beforehand too

But of a hiatus but did go out cycling at the weekend..

FTP beginner builder wk2 day 2

Spinning at a higher cadence seems more natural now..

Not a particularly demanding session – strength intervals with many low intensity breaks

FTP beginner wk1 day 4.

Ok, cadence reasonably consistent around 90..

May cycle again later in the day

Beginner FTP wk1 day 3 – foundation

Pretty straightforward – FTP at 195 for session, presumably adjusting automatically

May go out on the MTB tomorrow or poss finish week 1.. weathered dependent. It is currently raining and due to rain overnight so we shall see

Week 1, day 1

Not too bad, did session in the evening for a change.

New mat and computer stand turned up today so bike looking a bit more sensibly setup now!

Sweaty. Room for improvement.

Managed to break 50mph downhill though – more by luck than anything else though…

Tomorrow, out on the MTB..!
