Going with Block Periodization

If you have been following my blog here, here, and here, you know that I have been trying block periodization the last 4 weeks.  The four weeks ended with a race weekend where I achieve moderate results.  After taking two days off after racing, I tested my 5 and 10 minute maximum power, and had some great results! I can tell that the block periodization has helped me in physical training.  I think there is additional placebo effect from being excited about new training routines and concentrating very hard on scheduling the right workouts.  If anything, it has been nice to change my training by only concentrating on one thing at a time.

With these good results in mind, I embark on a quest to get my fitness to the next level with block periodization.  My next priority races are in September, so I will have a good block of time to work on specific skill sets that I will need for the P/1/2 field.  Below is maximal power output chart that is commonly used to see where your fitness is at.  It is sometimes inaccurate because it is just the average for every human.  It also says nothing of a person’s ability to hurt during a race or how well they race.  Regardless, I am now officially in the mid or upper part of the Cat 2 area on all time intervals. It feels good.
