Last week was the last week of my Base Building phase. Twelve weeks of a lot of time in my Endurance zones, zone 2 & zone 3. With some short trips up into zone 4.
I feel good and have definatly gained some speed. According to my training schedule I do a 30min fitness test every 4 weeks at the end of my rest week. Throughout the base period I have increase the mileage covered in that 30min.
Here are my last 3 tests:
3) 9.2mi (18.3mph)
2) 8.9mi (17.8mph)
1) 7.7mi (15.4mph)
I feel fast but really have no clue how fast I am. I need to ride with peeps to get a better idea.
So taking inventory of the last 12 weeks. My speed is going up, I easily do an 1:30hrs in tempo, and long 4hr rides are no problem. Things to work on - Hill climbing, loosing weight, and time in my upper zones. Still a lot of work to do.
