I'm doing the TrainerRoad Rolling Road Race programme, it's two hour-long interval sessions during the week then a slightly longer 1.5hr on at the weekend. I'm skipping every weekend ride as I'm racing - very unstructured, usually a train to the HQ, 4 min eyeballs out effort then a bimble home.
Should I actually just search out TR workouts that feature 2 to 4 minute all out efforts that mimic HCs and arrange two during the week as I see fit? I'm only following the programme to give some kind of structure, but as I'm also almost ignoring that it seems pointless. The taper / TSS rest week etc are out the window as I'm racing every weekend from now until November and want to perform well in all of them.
Eyeballs-out 4 min intervals to make me stronger doing eyeballs-out race efforts. Makes sense right?
Or should I do a hard one at the start of the week then a recovery type less hard session later in the week?
