A monthly tally would give you an idea of what I do to train for my races. I use Training Peaks WKO+ to log all of my sessions so it’s really easy for me to run analytics. The program also has many in-depth features but I usually like to take a broader look to see my overall progression throughout the season.

January has been a challenging month. My bike sessions have suffered from the constant snowfall and blistering temperatures. This is the time of the year where I don’t have much structure to my training, as long as the staple workouts are done. Junk miles are not as important right now, so it’s a bonus when I can find the time to log some easy miles.
