Ep80 : Keeping it Simple

“I got a smart trainer in 2017 but didn't really get started on it till 2018. I got the book Fast after 50 by Joe Friel and create my own workouts. I had three types, aerobic threshold steady state, lactate threshold intervals, and VO2 max intervals. Based on fast after 50 I had a list of training phases and the priority each period. So if aerobic capcity was my priority I'd make sure I got those workouts done. If it was lacatet they were done ahead of any other workouts. I didn't prescirbe workouts to days, I'd just try and get three done each week and the what day didn't matter. If I was tired I'd delay till the evening or next day. Simple.
This year I copied a training plan and quickly found out it was too coplex a beast with prescribed days, and at least 3 different workouts a week, which changed every week. It was too much. I'v gone back to my basic three workouts but with the emphasis more in line with the distributions Stephen Seiler suggests. The high intensity is short intervals which I add an extra interval each week. Then I'll make them longer as I move further into the season.
Simple works for me. I just have to hit my hard intervals on the days I do them and then keep it easy on the days I'm doing low intesnity. It keeps my brain load low and allows me to just listen to music or podcasts and not worry about what I need to do for the next interval.”Read full review »
