Following the x3 consecutive Ascents of Alp Du Zwift at 4.0W/kg, accumulating a Training Stress Score of 215 for the session, I was feeling jaded, and sensed my immune system was low. So including 2 rest days and good sleep, I explore some of the other Nutrition, Training and Stretching strategies I use in order to encourage recovery and boost the immune system.
This is represents part of my training in the build up to the Time Trial up Alp d’Huez (La Grimpee Alpe d’Huez) followed 2 days later by the famous Gran Fondo, La Marmotte.
To obtain a good TT time on Alp d’Huez (13km +1100m) will require strong threshold power, whilst a gold time on La Marmotte (174km +5000m) will require excellent endurance at sweetspot!
La Marmotte takes in the Col du Glandon, the Col du Telegraphe, the Col du Galibier and Alp d’Huez
Over July and August I’ll be documenting the cycling training, strength training and nutrition to get a good time at these events – and the rational for each. The level of excitement is HIGH
