Dear fellow cyclists

Hope you’re all doing well. I am new to TrainerRoad and I apologize if this topic was already touched somewhere else.

I am used to a very high volume on bike (I am coming from 10’000/21k on foot and I was used to 14+ hours of running per week)

During the last 4 months I jumped between 18 to 22 hours of cycling. The problem is that TR doesn’t want to plan more than 10/12 hours per week even on high volume. Could I do something about it? Just manually adding easy ride is the only way?

Thank you very much!

Thanks Chand and Yay for the reply! Most of my riding is mostly Zone 2 (I sit with 260 of ftp) and I usually do one long ride (just over 5h) with climb efforts and one interval day during the week (to shoot for around 1/1  
.5h close to ftp) and some sets of sprinting during one of my Z2 rides during the week

Again, thanks for the links and advice! I’ll go carefully on adding volume. Next week will be the first and I’ll see how it goes 🙂
