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”
How to get as good as Chris Froome in cycling?
I know I have already brought to your attention the Pareto principle multiple times. I also know that listening for the 10th time over and over again on the same topic can be boring.

This kind of mentality can get you discouraged or/and injured pretty quickly. Especially if youContinue reading “How to plan you cycling training year?”
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”
What are my plans for 2020?
How to begin 2020 properly? A “double-twenty” year will be in my case a year with fully planned stucturized workouts, so at the height of the season the form will be at its top. That is the plan at least… and we all know what life does with the plans. Nevertheless… ZWIFT Workouts in winter!Continue reading “What are my plans for 2020?”
Last cycling training in 2019
After last year’s sessions in December (although not completed as planned) have given me some confidence what to expect when finished, I was actually positively surprised what came up out of them. Out of six weeks of training I’ve managed to complete five. Without loosing a day. Consistency pays up apparently not only on paper.Continue reading “Last cycling training in 2019”
