Last week I rode 115 miles over 2 short rides in the flats around Boulder, 1 climbing ride up Lefthand Canyon (1700 feet of climbing), and 1 long ride in the flats up to Hygiene and back. Based on past years experience I would call my training so far this year pathetic, but I'm trying to approach things differently. I'm trying not to repeat past mistakes be very incremental about building up riding intensity and duration to try to limit inflammation in my left knee. I'm also trying to be disciplined in my periodization and keep my heart rate at base miles levels. For me that's a maximum pulse of 150. That means I have to ride comically slow on climbs and have to let it go when anyone attacks me.
