I like to incorporate 3-4 fasting rides a month into my schedule. I normally do them over the weekend before breakfast. Currently I do them outdoors but with the days getting shorter I will probably switch to indoor so that I can utilize the weekends for longer rides. I have a few questions: 1- are…

I’m currently doing low vol SS base and have added fasted rides every Sunday. I just searched the workout catalogue for 2-3hr Endurance zone rides (scientifically you should probably do >3hr endurance rides but it’s all I can take on the trainer!). My picks for this block: Boarstone Beehive Polar…
