I’ve got a few weeks coming up on holiday when I won’t be riding. Due to how things worked out I’ve just come off a rest week and only have one week before heading off on holiday. I’m keen to keep the legs turning over, want to minimise my fitness loss (I am looking forward to time off the bike but feel 4 weeks - the rest week + this week + 2 weeks holdiay - feels a bit much!).

What’s a good training routine for the week? I’ve just come off a three week threshold training block. I’ll try and cycle to work 2 or 3 times in the week (25kms / 1 hour each way). No time for long rides this week though - it’ll have to be turbo.

Coming off a rest week and knowing I have one week until some time off I would treat it like a race week and go for some power PRs… 60 min, 20 min, 5 min (or whatever you’re feeling). Then I’d use the time off as a season break and start fresh with base when you start up again.

Hey @trebor 🙂 Holiday sounds nice!

You can either “mimic” the week prior or training, or you can use [TrainNow](https://support.trainerroad.com/hc/en-us/articles/360057075531-TrainNow-Overview) to recommend workouts.

Or… go ride and have fun!
