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.

Are you advising that because fasted SS rides don't work?

I'm already drinking less, eating less shit, but given that I'm planning on doing this for another 10/11 months, making unsustainable dietary changes seems unrealistic, whereas fasted SS turbo sessions are achievable and (in theory) effective.
