Hey everyone, I’m currently following a low-volume style setup with: Mon: 1h quality session Wed: 1h15 quality session Fri: 0:45h shorter/moderate but still productive session Sat: Adaptive outdoor endurance ride (~2.5h Z2) That puts me around 5.5–6 hours/week on the bike, plus some …

As an old guy getting close to retirement which will open up more time for riding, I have the same question. And how do I increase volume in a way that TR can manage, without my calendar turning red? I’ve been happy with TR and my training so far.

I have this question too. It’s given me a long ride of 2 hours in prep for a (hopefully) 11 hour unbound. How do we tell the ai we are not "time crunched " ( oh how I hate that term) Joe

I don’t think there is anything one set answer for this. The way I think about it is where could I add time that fits my schedule while still being productive and that still allows me to recover. Having a complete day off is always a good idea IMO. So being that the OP is 4 days on the bike and 2 s…

That would be an interesting way to add the time. I on the other would probably just ride the extra 15 on the tail end or extend the warmup. I don’t think there is a right or wrong way to do it, however your method may make better use of the AI function.

I think there are a few ways to do it. I’ve increased from my winter training of 3 TR sessions per week to currently 10 hrs per week, mostly outside but i prefer to do my intervals on Trainer road. I use AI adaptive to pick my TR sessions but not train now as I know roughly what type of session I wa…

I’ve started extending my tues/wed cooldowns by 15 minutes as time allows. I do bump that up to zone 2ish for a bit of it. I add a zone 2 ride Wednesday of 30-60 minutes. Then weekends I just add some extra time. Usually since I ride with guys faster than me on Saturday I blow up and TR gives me …

Easiest way is to add Zone 2 on Tuesday / Thursday and gradually increase the long endurance ride if time is available. It’s all dependent on time availability of course. One thing to consider when adding a new stimulus (volume) is to eat well and be sure to make sure you are sleeping enough. Also …
