Small Gains

This morning was my CP30 test and was the 4th test I’ve taken. I was able to eek out another gain in watts, but a small one. I guess a gain is a gain and I shouldn’t complain. My last three tests have been 248,254 and 259, gaining about 5 watts per every 4 weeks of training. It doesn’t seem like much, but over the course of 10 miles it is about 30 seconds. Ok, so that really isn’t a whole lot, but it is something. I guess one way to look at it is that it is kind of like bench pressing your max. The gains start to come much slower the stronger you get.

Over the course of the next 4 weeks of training I’m going to try to incorporate more leg exercises in my weight routine to build some strength in my legs. The hard part will be figuring out which day or days to do that. The best option may be to to do it after my rides on Tuesday and Thursday. I’m going to have to put some more thought into that.

Weight: 166.6
