April's Goals

Performance goals for the next month have been identified and include:

· Sub-15' swim at the 1000yd distance

· Sub-46' run at the 10km distance

· Lifting FTP up to a legit 270 watts via the 2x20' test.  

This would represent around 1-2% improvement in each sport which is extremely good for a short 4-week block.  This would ideally happen within the context of a plan that shows increasing volume around weekend key bike & run workouts that are designed to build aerobic efficiency.  The expectation is such that we haven't yet seen the true endurance limiters yet since most of the workouts have been relatively short by ironman standards.  Bike rides will be approaching the 4 hour mark by the end of April, and long runs perhaps approaching 2 hours. Some interesting stuff may happen as we stretch these long workouts to these durations...

Build 1 of 3 begins Monday.
