Everybody is offering suggestions for New Year’s Resolutions. You can’t turn on the TV or radio without hearing someone talk about how to make them and how to not break them, as most people do. You can’t open your email or browse the internet without reading the same from some expert. So I’ll give you some [...] The end of one season is also the beginning of another. Your training and racing this past season has taught you a great deal about your strengths and weaknesses, about your mind and body. While the lessons are still fresh in your mind, use them to create an actionable plan for an even better season [...] My taper in advance of the Mt Washington Hill Climb looks like this:
Race Day – 7 (Sat, Aug 8): Short and easy ride (though as I mentioned yesterday, it didn’t exactly work out that way). R – 6 (Today, Sun, Aug 9): Short ride but include [...] We always hope that our ride will be on a 75 degree, sunny and calm day. Unfortunately, we rarely ride in these conditions. And while this year will be my first Mt Washington race, my understanding is that race conditions are rarely, if ever, even close to ideal.
What do you use to gauge your progress and your fitness level throughout the season? Racing provides great and immediate feedback. What if you don’t race, though? What do you use to measure your improvement and whether you’re on track with your goals?
