Base Training Time

January 21, 2009 Training Plans Comments

Base training is more than likely one of the most overlooked and misunderstood forms of training. Base training takes time and a lot of it and it also requires as much discipline as killer intervals. The goals of this period will be to get you back into trainable shape, increase your ability to handle increased workloads and to insure the body becomes trained to use fat as a primary fuel source.

The success, duration and final peak ceiling of your cycling or multisport season will be largely determined by the quality of your base period. The physiological changes that need to be honed during this period of training simply take time to manifest them selves. How long you ask? The running rule is 12 weeks but honestly peak performance needs about 30 weeks to be eked out of the human body and over half of that needs to be taken up by the base period. Think of a pyramid and notice that the larger the base the higher the peak the same holds true in endurance sports.

Base period training is made up of plenty of LSD. Ok you wacko’s before you get excited or think I am a 60’s throw back think of it this way Long Slow Distance sorry to excite you and then let you down but there are doping rules! The whole key is to use your training time to get in TIME and plenty of it keeping your efforts within HR zones 1-2 or power zones just above your recovery zone. When you ride in a group and I know this is tough sit in and if that just won’t fly ride alone as it makes no sense to be a January superstar and a July burn out! I know I can hear you all moaning about how riding 2 hours will take sooooo long, no sorry it will only take 2 hours.

The idea here is to get the body into good levels of fitness and more importantly to condition not only the aerobic system but to allow an adaption of the internal systems to use fat as fuel instead of Carbohydrates which are of limited quantity and produce huge amounts of waist byproducts. This will pay big dividends in the summer months.

I like to use a 3 up one down cycle in the base period which means on the small scale you train for 3 days and rest one. The same holds true for your weeks. With cycling this is easy to plan for multi sport it is a little tougher but with good planning it can be done. The recovery days and weeks are just that recovery. Recovery is the biggest secret, if you recover you will be faster and stronger much sooner than just going full steam ahead all the time. I like to have 1 full day off every 7 days during base training and my other recovery day is an active recovery day where I do something like a light spin or electro muscle stimulation or massage to speed things along. Duration is totally up to you but should be progressive. Below is a chart of how I am training the Wounded Marines to cycle. it is simple and effective and covers 20 weeks of progressive base training

I also train on my Tri bike at times. Really I have a bike that is set up for both road and Time Trial all I do is switch out the seat post and seat to get the right angles. I use a steel frame bike in the off season so that I don’t wreck the good stuff and really at this point in the year I am the only nut on the road so there is no one to impress. This also allows me to use it on the stationary trainer without worrying about stressing the frame and fork. Here is a picture of it. It is an old Cannondale even has a ball bearing bottom bracket but I have had it for ever and with some mods here and there I get all the angles that are on my primary frames and if I crash it I am out 100 bucks and E Bay has-em by the dozen! SO take a look at what you are doing and slow down a little, if guys take off and show their stuff let them go do your diligence in the trenches and in July they won’t be around to bother you.

The only thing that isn’t ten years old is the power tap.
