Training Update
So far this year, training has been going well. I completed my base phase last week, with a well deserved week off of core training. I started my build phase this week and have already felt the challenges that are ahead of me. Yesterday I did a 1:45 trainer session that was supposed to have a 60 min tempo session with 5 x 30 sec all out sprints. I started my sprints 15 min into the tempo session and by the 2nd sprint thought I was going to loose my cookies. My stomach really felt terrible. By the 5th sprint, I was in serious delusion and ended up spinning out to a full hour and hoping off the bike to lay on the floor for ten minutes. I then reluctantly got back on the bike and finished out the remaining 45 minutes simply spinning in an endurance/recovery zone. Luckily I had a riding buddy along side to chat with. I think what led to my issues was having a late day snack too close to the workout and having so few max-out sessions during my base phase. I have another challenging workout tonight so we will see if I have recovered at all.
