After a very full triathlon racing season, I was panicking because I didn’t have any races scheduled. I finally found a half marathon that works with “life” for March 22, 2015. This is week #1 on the training calendar, so my workouts have been very light and very easy. Tomorrow’s long run is 45 minutes. Sweet!
Today 17km cross country skiing – skate. Tommorow at least 15km of running.
All of my official races are over for the year. Instead, I’m working on speedwork. I have a pool workout scheduled for tomorrow.

Started cycling again this past July after a 16-year hiatus (I’m 37). Started with an FTP of 169. As of Oct I had reached 201. So, my workout goal by end of year is to achieve an FTP of about (beyond!?) 225. Your blog has been immensely helpful re recommendations on trainer (Kurt Kinetic w/ inRide) and using TrainerRoad and TrainingPeaks. Looking forward to a great New Year!!
We’ll go with tomorrow’s (6 Dec) workout – Bike test. The meat of it includes a 3 minute all out test, with some rest, then a 20 minute all out test. Should be fun!
