Keep it Simple and Progress – The Peak Profile

Keep it Simple and Progress – The Peak Profile

Everest-575683

I thought of this profile while I was sitting around the Thanksgiving day dinner table enjoying some great conversation with my brother-in-law's family.  Kent Harvey, my brother-in-law's brother is a world renown cinematographer who specializes in adventure films and has been the summit of Mount Everest 2 times.  Kent is an amazing and extremely safe climber.  He is often asked about all the deaths on Everest and he always talks about the importance of saving enough energy to make the trip down from the summit.  Summiting it great but it's not worth your life.

In this month's base profile I'll be having my riders work to a peak wattage or intensity then slowly and steadily work their wattage back down from this peak.

Below you'll find Week 1 of December's @ or Above Threshold Keep it Simple and Progress indoor cycling profile.
