Hi
I used to take November Off. Last Year I took October off and went hill walking in Nepal. I then Retired from work.
I Have trained from December right through till now 5 days a week.(70 watt increase in FTP) The plan is to keep this up till November. But not take it total off, drop down to LV and 60-70% intensity stuff. May take a week off to go on holiday to south of Spain if Covid allows without self isolating when we get back home.
I Guess not working allows me to just and only think about training. I do not have other stresses in life, well not true… We all have some. Time to take the sick 14 year old dog to the vet
