  • Sweetspot workouts should be hard but not so hard you can't do them for long. The point is to get a lot of work done in a shorter amount of time - bang for buck.
    You're probably doing them poorly if you're doing them fasted.

    If I was only doing 45min of work then I would probably be doing it harder than sweetspot or it would just be a rest day commute thing and I'd save it for a proper 2-4hr sesssion.

  • I've been hitting my wattage targets during my sweetspot intervals. I do need to do another ftp test soon, though.

    Rough plan

    1. is 2x fasted sweetspot workouts (1hr each)
    2. 1x v02 max intervals (1 hr)
    3. long distance rides at weekend (4-5 hour)
    4. 1 yoga session per week (1hr)
    5. 2 core workouts per week (30 mins each)

    That's an ideal week but I figure if I stick to that over the winter, when spring rolls around I'll be in a good position to start churning out long rides more regularly.

    Thoughts/comments welcome.

  • Sack off the fasted ss rides. Just do SS rides well fuelled.

    IF you want to fast, for fat utilisation purposes, do it during the long rides. But again, I'd not bother. Just eat and train hard.

    If you want to lose weight, stop eating dinner and cut out all wheat.
