Heartbeat

  • Daily endurance log created during heartbeat check.
  • Workspace race calendar is present and includes a 2026-06-27 gravel race plus a 2026-09 to 2027-01 cyclocross calendar.
  • Travel schedule remains current enough for near-term planning: Victoria through Apr 30, major Shanghai no-bike disruption May 2 to May 16, Edmonton from May 16 onward.
  • Specialist context still supports Monday as the primary recovery day and 50 to 60 minute cyclocross demand when event-specific work is warranted.
  • TrainingPeaks next-event lookup returned an API 400 during this check, so workspace files remain the authoritative planning source here.

Risks / Flags

  • No immediate race-schedule change in the workspace requires changing current session specificity today.
  • Stale-assumption risk: do not let cyclocross race-demand work bleed into the current April block; the next material specificity constraint is the May 2 to May 16 travel period with no bike access.
  • Load-distortion risk: if recommendations ignore the Shanghai disruption, progression and bike-specific load could be overstated across early May.
  • Data-gap risk: TrainingPeaks event verification was unavailable during this check.

Current stance

  • Keep current work aligned to aerobic rebuild / controlled threshold re-entry rather than race-specific cyclocross demands.
  • Protect Monday as recovery unless an explicit exception is documented.
  • Start adapting session design toward travel-constrained run/gym options before May 2 rather than adding specificity now.
