I stopped training on June due to… say non functional overreaching? mental crushed(so depressed all the time) body always fatigued. Job performance fallen… so spent summer and fall being noodling around with friends occasionally. when I felt my mentality healed a little bit, started high intensity things again. and recently, I suspect my fail on spring training might because of lack of good sleep.
Till june, I trained late at night and it definitely disturb my sleep. Took a shower, it gets over 12 o’clock… Being a father of two twin boy(even one with CP condition) also prevented me from getting good quality sleep. Wake up 6 AM makes my sleep below 6H. When I have rest day, I still slept late to crawling over internet…
As winter is coming, I made up my mind to brace myself. Instead of training late at night, do early morning workout.
Gathered information from a thread above and tested several 5AM trainings and It seems working. It requires me to sleep 10PM but since I recently got no interest on misc things to crawling over internet, it’s possible. Getting sleep quickly is also possible. When doing late night workout, i felt my body still hot and nervous and thereby sleeping was so hard. Early morning workout doesn’t have that problem!
During summer season instead of cycling, I hit some weight training and it also worked as I gain some muscle which I absolutely never had in my life. Still I’m smaller in figure than average male person, but i’m quite confident on myself.
So… my big change fot this 2020 is
- Sleep ealry. 10 PM
- Wake up early. 4:50 AM
- Being good father(keep good mental health)
Big target for me is ftp of 250w(near 4w/kg). I know myself is so weak entirely on my life. But this time I feel I can get stronger. Hope this works.
