Feeling a bit directionless in terms of training at the moment.
A crash a few weeks back has meant that I've had to make do with lower intensity, higher volume work since and I feel like I'm treading water as opposed to building.
I've done a couple of 1' tests this week, firstly to see where I am and also to see how the shoulder feels doing harder work. The results were promising and I'm confident I can resume proper build training again.
So, six weeks to go until the mountains. CTL is hovering at about 100 and FTP has stayed the same at about 295 for a while. The lack of FTP gains doesn't worry me hugely as my ability to hold a good percentage of it for 4/5 hours is much improved.
My question is, what would you do now in my position? I've been looking at Traineroad's Sustained Power Build plan, which is lots of work at about 108% and some higher vo2 stuff.
Time on the bike is a factor as work is starting to ramp up. So gettting out consistently during the week is tricky.
Cheers.
