This week’s training – Week 3

Things happen in life. That’s a normal thing – unplanned events that destroy, force you to modify your plan. This was the case in week 4. I had to stop the training plan in the middle of the week to chase some personal obligations. This meant 1,5 week without a session on the bicycle. ButContinue reading “This week’s training – Week 3”

This week’s training – Week 3

Week three – we are already warmed up and some more difficult sessions do appear in the schedule. Like the last session this week, which is the longes from all in the training plan. One and a half hour of interval cycling. What do you want more? The body has got a bit adjusted toContinue reading “This week’s training – Week 3”

This week’s training – Week 2

Week two of training was quite typical for a training week – the body got quite accustomed to the fact that it will have to suffer in the evenings a bit. The legs were not sore nearly at all anymore and the eyes were ready to stare at the screen for additional hours in the evening.Continue reading “This week’s training – Week 2”

Cycling gains explained on browser tabs

Have you ever wondered how does one progress in cycling training. Or more general – how does training work at all? In a way – does every training be equal to another. Does it make a difference if you push harder or do a weekend coffee ride and have similar results? And what about youContinue reading “Cycling gains explained on browser tabs”

This week’s training – Week 1 Revisited

After last week’s “progress” with the ZWIFT training program I’ve decided that a couple of modifications will be needed. To adjust and fine tune all software and hardware settings I choose a different, lighter training program. Also to get to know how the trainings will go and if everything hardware-wise will work correctly. I chooseContinue reading “This week’s training – Week 1 Revisited”

This week’s training – Week 1

Starting a new training plan for 2020, so we start the numbering from 1 one again. It’s going to be an interesting start of the year. First sessions are going to be with ZWIFT FTP Increase Training Plan. And the title of the plan might have taken things too seriously maybe. The first two “warmup”Continue reading “This week’s training – Week 1”

Basic setup for indoor cycling traninig

This will not be a complete guide how to start tranining cycling at home, but rather a set of observations and conclusions, reflecting my view on AMATEUR cycling training equipment. You can spend thousands and thousands of dollars/euros on equipment that you will not ever use, or will not use in more than 10% ofContinue reading “Basic setup for indoor cycling traninig”

This week’s training – Week 5

The introductry plan was actually to train for 6 weeks and then perform an 8- or 20-minute FTP test. But as it is with plans – they have to be adjusted sometimes when the situation dictates so. And this was the case. Week 5 ist the last one and no FTP test will be performedContinue reading “This week’s training – Week 5”

This week’s training – Week 4

Things have gotten serious this week! For the first time I can say that a session was really challenging. Not to say that the previous weeks went without a sweat, but Session 4 this week has pushed me harder than expected. The week consisted of dour sessions – two sets of lighter one first, thanContinue reading “This week’s training – Week 4”
