Tracking Training Points

Earlier I showed you the weekly points tracker and explained how the points equal 1 mile of bike, or 100 yards swimming, or 1/4 mile running.

Now here is the chart that is used to visualize the annual volume. You can clearly see a ramp-up, and then some leveling with four week cycles followed by a rest/easy week, a race week (zero volume).

The last "set" of weeks shows how I plan to change-up the schedule to focus on Olympic distance training. The even-week sets prior to that are high-volume moderate intensity to train for a 70.3.

This last set has some of that, but intermixed with a lower-volume, high-intensity week to prep for the Olympic distance that is a bit shorter but higher paced.

When I'm done posting all the training data segments, I'll upload the excel file for anyone to copy and use on their own.
