What's Next? What Does This Mean?
I want to start by saying thanks to all for the words of encouragement I've received post-Sebring. The questions before me are: "Will I be ready for RAAM?" "Is my training on track?"
This is a rest week, so I'll spend it doing active recovery rides, yoga, and no weight training. I have an appointment with Coach Adam to do a VO2 Max test on Saturday. The VO2 Max test will answer some questions. Am I putting out more power? Am I more efficient? What are my training zones?
Then I'd like to talk a bit with Adam and answer some other questions...If I'm more efficient and putting out more power, why am I getting slower? My VO2 Max tests have shown great improvement over the years, but my fastest 200k was in 2002. Should I modify my training plan?
