so with work and life slowing WAY down for some of us, what’s the proper way to train like the pros do? im 29, and have been on the high volume plans for a couple years so I should be able to handle the stress of more riding. the past few days I have been just doing the sweet spot efforts from the p…

I got a decade on you but I’d just sleep more🤣 All I’ve heard is if you have more time do additional z2 work. I prefer to add z2 in at the beginning of workouts versus the end. A lot harder to do those SS intervals after 3-4 hours at z2.

The IRL consensus: do long rides with lots of “stuff” in them. :+1: [image] Pro/Elite training Training Let’s have a thread to share any info on pro/elite training. I find this topic highly interesting and inspirational. I will make a start: Mathew Hayman Cody Beals,…

Honestly I totally didn’t see this coming but I’m finding myself with less time to train. My wife is used to me and the kids being gone all week. We’re now all at the house. My routine is an early morning workout before everyone gets up and then another workout at lunch. The early morning one is…

[image] Levi_gaswint: what ideas do you guys have for filling up time productively or weaving in structured efforts into a 3 or 4 hour ride daily? I understand your enthusiasm but going from 10h per week to 20h is not something I would do quickly, if at all. I had six months off work in 2017…

Definitely less time to train here. I work from home, but my wife is a prof and will be teaching from home for the foreseeable future. School is closed, as is daycare, so our 6 and 2 year olds are home all day as well. My office is much more crowded… If I can keep a modicum of fitness between no…

I just happen to be finishing up week 6 of SSB1. I am planning to do high volume z2 rides the next three weeks totaling 15, 17 and 19 hours. Then a recovery week (10 hrs) and then two weeks with VO2/threshold workouts on Tues/Thurs and z1/z2 the other days, but hitting the hard workouts really hard…

I’ve concluded that I suddenly have the time to recover like a pro. Trying to double my time spent in Z0 and perfect my ‘why stand when you can lay down’ position; wife says I actually have to do some training first. :grimacing:

[image] SeanH: Then it’s time for lunch run where normally I’d have no issue leaving my desk and heading out but now I feel super guilty. Yes, I’m thinking of trying to run with my toddler in the pram, or my eleven yo on a scooter so it’s still family time.
