First time poster!
I’m two weeks out from the Flanders sportive (Sat 5 April). I had a solid winter block through Dec/Jan and was in okay shape, but work’s been hectic lately and I’ve fallen behind a bit on both training and nutrition.
That said, I’ve managed a couple of decent long rides over the past few weekends—140km and 120km. I’ve felt okay, definitely not flying, but confident I’ll get round fine. Just won’t be in peak form.
Given where I’m at, what’s the best use of training time over the next fortnight? Any advice on areas of focus to sharpen up without overdoing it—and when should I start tapering?
Appreciate any thoughts!
