I have reorganized my workouts (again) to include some additional exercises, sprint intervals and plyometrics. I am calling these workouts Strategic Fitness Plan (SFP) workouts based on the book Ready, Set, Go by Phil Graham. While I try out this approach, I will be doing 3-4 sessions per week in the gym and 1-2 longer sessions per week on my bike outdoors. The plyometric exercises I have started on are karate-type moves. I will be researching these power-oriented exercises to add to my repertoire. So, in general, my weekly routines will include weight training, sprint intervals, power exercises, longer aerobic sessions and stretching. Previously, I have concentrated on mainly long, slow distance. I believe my fitness will improve by doing a more varied routine. I will have to work into the power and sprint exercises, as they are quite demanding. Even though I am in good condition, I have not done interval type training for many years. I will need several weeks to work into these safely.
If I decide to do a long bike event, for example, I will change my routine 6 weeks or so before the event and include more endurance work.
