After just 2 weeks on an intense climbing training program, I had a 50 watt gain and 2 minute PB on the Greenhill Road climb and an 18 watt gain and 47 second PB on the fearsome Corkscrew Road Climb.
This very challenging but achievable 2 week training regime produced results that I honestly had trouble believing. Yes it was the toughest 2 week training block of my life, but when I look back at the power gains and personal best times I rode on my favourite climbs, I know it was worth it.
In 2019 I took part in a University Study into the potential of natural antioxidant foods to promote recovery from intense endurance training. I joined up simply to participate in the training program, but I got a couple of massive personal bests in the deal!
Here I present the improvements that I made and the tortuous two weeks of training that delivered these results. Would I do it again?
Hmmmm
