So it seems like some type of quarantine is inevitable for at least parts of the USA, and it has already started around the world. Twitter has already told it’s 4,800 employees to “work from home.” If we get told not to leave your homes and have all that extra time - how would you adjust your train…

Description: [Should We Keep Riding Through the Coronavirus Pandemic? The Science]

This is the UCI advice: Physical training while minimising the susceptibility to infection The effectiveness of the immune system against viruses is significantly affected after high intensity training sessions, in comparison to a normal training programme. The training programme should be revis…

Ok cool, so do -1 or -2 instead, slightly less duration on the harder efforts and don’t go too intense on the vo2 etc which I’m not doing yet anyway.

I spent a few minutes throwing together my April - not really training with a date in mind but trying to be ready in case things clear out towards the end of May or early June. Hoping to stay a bit fresher by doing 2:1 work:rest so I can adjust more easily as information comes to light [image] […

The advice is sound, except perhaps the first part which I believe was debunked. However, no need for too much intensity anyways since there are no races.

Today was rather windy and I did one of my favourite 50 mile loops and whilst I’m sat here with the dull ache in my legs, one thin…

Hi I’ve been following a training plan (high volume) for 4 months now. My goal was two endurance events in 2020: the Dragon Ride (Wales) in June (300km, 5000m ascent) and L’etape du tour (France) in July (175km, 3600m ascent). Training was going well but of course now things have changed. The Drag…

I’m in the same position, one aspect I’m conscious of is burn out as our target dates have been deferred. I crystallised my original approach with the view that it was a marathon, Sept 19 to June 20. Now it’s May 21 so I needed to revisit my approach in terms of enjoying my riding outside, building …
