Hello, was hoping to get some advice about my training plan. First so you know, i do not plan on doing any "races" or if they are I don't plan on competing. I am planning a few century non-races. for this summer.
My goal is not to be be competitive, but yo be healthy and have fun. That said, I realize I am not cycling enough times per week. I lift heavy weights twice a week to maintain some upperbody muscle mass. Of course I realize heavy weightlifting for mass and endurance sports dont go hand in hand, so I elect so me sorta okay at both vs. real good at one or the other.
That said, could you guys take a look at my training plan and comment?
Thanks.
Currently I am in base training and building my way up.
Sunday: 30 miles today LSD (increasing 2 miles per week, not sure for how long)
Monday: Heavy weight lifting
Tuesday: 45 minutes LSD(increasing 5 minutes per week until 120 minutes)
Wednesday:OFF
Thursday:45 minutes LSD (increasing 5 minutes per week until 120 minutes)
Friday: Heavy weight lifting
Saturday: 45 minutes LSD (increasing 5 minutes per week until 120 minutes)
All of my cycling is occuring at 65-75% MHR, except for on Sundays when I hit some hills.
Basically I was planning on getting my weekday rides to 2 hours, as i increase my weekend ride, then replace some of my weekday rides with some lactate threshold work.
comments?
thanks!
