I am beginning a sixteen week Winter Training Plan put out by Jorge Martinez on the Beginning Triathlete web site. No, I’m not adding a new sport but I will be using their cycling training program.

The first two weeks is easy, getting you ready for the first power test in week three. Today’s workout included some intervals, shorter ones during warm up and longer ones during the main set. I found it difficult to hold my wattage to the low levels called for in the training plan, but the long main set was not as easy.

Anyway, I am using this as a method to keep my training focus during these long, dark and wet winter months.
