How is the training going at the moment?
Going OK!
I've not been very busy at work which has made it more achievable. Am working from home 3-4 days per week, so I can find time for turbo at lunchtime or before nursery pickup.
I'm doing trainerroad, medium volume. That is 5 turbo sessions a week, and I've done virtually all of them. Saturday is a day off so I look after my daughter then and my wife gets a break so she is happy.
I'm also doing a session of yoga once per week.
What I'm not doing is riding outside much. I'm supposed to be allowed one long ride per month, but dns'd my one last weekend and just did turbo. Commute 1 or 2 days per week + errands into town are all the riding I do. On Monday I met a friend for a beer in the west end so that was 40km, which was OK.
I'll ride more when the weather is better, but if I get busy at work the turbo will get harder to fit in, so will just drop some sessions. Might replace some with rides to Richmond Park when weather is better.
I've done 10 years of long distance riding so reasonably relaxed about not doing much volume. But I've not done very much in the last 2.5 years (since tcr 2016), so can't completely rest on my laurels, need to settle my bike fit, etc.

I'm managing 3 turbo sessions a week (usually two at 5am) and the occasional ride of 50-70km.
Going to start commuting next week for some more base miles.
This week has been tough after an increase in my FTP and hitting a heavier load in the plan. Fatigue and tiredness made me grumpy this morning when leaving the house, resulting in me feeling a bit guilty about it all.
Edit: anyone else can comment on their training just Frank and Gillies are in a similar position to myself.
