• Definitely there are different approaches that can work. This year is an experiment for me. I've done high mileages in the past and very little speed work. But, with a new baby, I can't just book myself out for the weekend and go off and ride, so I'm doing much less time and higher intensity.

    There is a tendency for the Facebook/Strava set to get competitive in terms of number of miles ridden without a load of thought behind it. And a lot of people who do crazy mileages burn themselves out and disappear after a few years.

  • How do the overall loads compare? Between you’re two types. Either tss or kIlo Joules.

  • You've done big races before though so other than missing a bit of butt hardening there's not likely to be a big disadvantage when training this way? It'd be cool to just to tabata or something silly only and see how an ultra race goes.
