January Training Review



Another month over. It's been a bit of a funny one training wise. It marks the introduction of threshold work, some road racing and, coinciding with aftermath of Xmas, for much of it I felt OK but not quite as sharp as pre Xmas.
Especially struggled on 2x20s. First interval typically OK but second (natch) tough. But then on last Tuesday of month had a superb workout. 2x22, first was at 304W (so around target), second ended up at 318W, well above target. More impressive was how easy it felt plus the fact that 60 minutes (including warm up/rests) was 299NW, in top 5 all time.
Pattern of spending more time in tempo/sweetspot compared to last year remains though not to such a marked extent. However absolute number of hours is up and as PMC below shows CTL trending nicely up, getting to 100 at end of month.
