Its been a good couple of months of training and things have steadily improved. The goals of improving top end power have been achieved but I always want more and the goal of four figures for the top end effort is still some way off but atleast I am heading in the right direction. Functional Threshold Power which is tested over 20 minutes on Training Peaks has steadily rose and apart from picking up a cold this week am feeling like I am in a good place to be starting the racing season in March.
Ive earmarked 3 para series weekends of racing, York in March, Essex in May and my A race the BC National Championships in July. I'm also looking to do a 12 hour TT this year for charity but am looking for one later in the year. I will also look to race more crit races but it will just depend on money and any work I am doing I think I just need to race as much as possible this year but again that does come down to money.
Since my previous problems with bursitis it has all settled down, even with increasing training load and intensity. Ian who is coaching me for Pav Bryan coaching has been putting good session plans in which are improving fitness and power.
