Not too sure where to post this as we don't really have a 'training' thread, but am after some advice...
Have been off the bike more or less totally for three weeks due to an injury, and think I'm good to ease back in. I was in pretty good shape before and have been doing some running in the interim to keep my base fitness up. However I will of course have lost a lot of top end bike power and leg strength.
Any tips for a bit of a training plan to get back into shape? Had been thinking about spending the next week getting my legs used to the bike again, working at around 90% of my old FTP for shorter efforts, and then working into FTP intervals and over-unders on the turbo mixed with longer endurance riding and also some shorter harder blasts out in the lanes.
I need to go back in carefully and not do any killer rides too soon, but am hoping that with some focus and determination I can get back to where I was in a month or so, which is when i go to the pyrennes for a week. I want to be in reasonable shape to enjoy dem big 'illz!
