On Saturday i am scheduled a 4hr15 endurance but i have an event to attend at 1pm making it inconvenient. I cant move the ride to Sunday because i need to protect a demanding threshold ride on Monday
At this point I’m only 2 weeks out from the fondo I’ve been training for this whole time. Tapering starts on the 1st sept, 12 days before the event.
My question is do i:
A. split the long ride into 2 shorter rides of about 85tss each and do 1 either side of the event or
B. just do a shorter ride of 2.5 to 3 hours and settle for the lower TSS overall for the week?
At this point you’ve done the work, so doing a shorter ride due to time availability won’t hurt you + it can offer extra recovery/freshness.
