Most athletes hit a plateau at some point during the season, and it’s frustrating. A typical season begins with enthusiasm high and an eagerness for training and goal achievement. Improvement comes quickly as the athlete trains hard in anticipation of early-season events.
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?
Your training should now focus on the specific demands of your key event. I’ve discussed this quite a bit recently, so today let me give you an example.
My key event this summer is the Mt Washington Hill Climb in NH, billed [...] I’ve long been a huge believer in fish oil. Many scientific studies have shown this to be a supplement (one of the few) that TRULY WORKS. Fish oil provides many benefits, including cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory, among others. You’ve trained diligently all winter. You’ve done long rides in your aerobic zones to build your aerobic engine. You’ve done some rides with long, steady tempo intervals. You’ve ridden some long threshold intervals. So you think you’re ready for your first race or group ride with the “fast” group.
