Hey All,
I’m also planning to climb Rainier during late May of this year. Thought I could weigh in with my personal TP data so far and maybe further the conversation. I’ve been training since October 2018, read TFTNA around December and started logging my workouts/data for January 1st. I got a HR watch in February and backlogged my TP data to then. I’ve included my current Performance Chart, including all workouts to date, with some planning as best I can until Rainier.
My current CTL is 46, with my projections putting it peaking around 80/90, and hopefully in the mid to high 70s to be well-rested for Rainier. I’m in week 3 of the ME phase of training, hoping to finish this phase with 2 bigger climbs (Costa Rica, Adirondacks NY) and then leave 2 weeks to taper/rest. My weekly workout volume ranges from 5.5-7hrs, but I’m working on increasing that also during this phase.
I’ve attached a look at my chart with projections all the way until Rainier. Let me know your thoughts and maybe we can discuss specifics since we are all in this together.
Cheers,
Tom
