Changing Gym Lifts, Improve Weakness or Double Down on Strengths? Cycling Schedule. Block 5 To Race!
Block 5 of Five Blocks To Racing.
This one is more to ask some questions of yourself that you can apply to your own training and subsequent bike races; whenever those are happening.
Truly, this is choose your own adventure, as there are a myriad of ways to play through this block.
Gym: Lift 2x a week through B and C priority races.
I've shifted lifts to endurance ride days as opposed to hard interval days, simply to have maximum energy for the last set (like 40 minutes into the session).
Also, I don't want my body to adapt to only going hard when I've lifted in the morning; that won't be possible for me on race day!
Double down on strengths or work on weaknesses? Find out which one gives you a better chance of doing well at your big event, or events!
Remember, if you don't have an A race, but are more getting primed for a whole series, the schedule will lay out differently.
