TrainerRoad workout Goddard – A 2nd Attempt

I’ve just had a second attempt at the TrainerRoad workout Goddard. I tried this last week and couldn’t quite decide if I was having a slow recovery from illness or was just being lazy. I didn’t manage to finish the whole of the  workout last week. I cut out the last round of spin ups and then didn’t bother going for the scheduled run afterwards either – and that was after putting it off for a day in the first place!

Well, it’s a new week this week and my 2nd chance at the TrainerRoad workout Goddard was on the cards. I wouldn’t say I was quite 100% still, I’ve been having a few issues with my recovery from a cold and although I feel OK most of the time, I’m still probably a little under the weather. The good news is that I managed to finish to whole of the workout today and I felt OK too. It was of course tough at time, but that’s the whole point.

It’s quite a nice workout really with a steady warm up, some isolated leg spins, a whole load of increasingly difficult form sprints, some more isolated leg spins and then two rounds of fast spin ups at a fairly decent percentage of FTP. TrainerRoad have got some new triathlon training plans out now as well, so I may have to take a look through them to see if any of them are any use to me. As well as the usual cycling sessions in their plans, these triathlon plans also have recommendations for swimming and running sessions as well.

I’m also now feeling quite motivated to get out for a run as well, but have to wait in for the delivery of our new fridge. I shall get things ready though so that once it’s here I can head straight out into the wind and rain to get that session done as well.
