Allegheny Jet

My workouts have increased the Z3 intervals by about 20 minutes each week. The average speed has gone up even though the length of the interval increased. I started to train for, and race last year, and this season I've been in-training since November. I'm getting ready for a 77 mile race with 6,000' of climbing that will be held in mid-May in PA. By race time I will need to be able to ride in Z3 for 4 hours. I started all this a little late, I'm 56, and only have a couple more years of this fun stuff left. I did get my first podium finish last week by taking 2nd in a Cat 4/5 race. last year I overtrained and messed up the first half of the year and then only started to ride strong again in August and through cyclocross season. In February I hired a coach to set up my training schedule and workouts. I had the choice to make of a PT, new wheels or a coach. I made the right choice.
