What does everyone else do? Maybe a question for the actual training thread.
I'm on three 45-60 min turbo sessions a week, coupled with three 45-50 min runs, alternating days t/r/t/r/t/r. Saturdays off. Some pram-walks added on top of that but they count for nothing, even if they're 5–10k. Power levels are hovering surprisingly near 'acceptable' by the numbers, especially considering the measly training load, but I'm not riding outside to see how I fare on anything familiar or over a proper ride duration. I am a good weight and a better 'normal human' shape than I've been for years, which feels good.

32, but I only had one year of structured training, albeit low volume, under my belt by then. This year I've increased my training volume by ~20% so we'll see. I don't feel much faster, when I've been riding in Kent I have no idea how I managed to get some of those KOMs last year, good 10 to 20 seconds slower this summer.
I think I'm pretty low volume compare to most. 3 to 3.5 hours a week on the turbo, over three workouts, then an unstructured ride on the weekend, which may be smashing 6x 4 min hills if I'm on my own, or more like 4 hours of Essex cruising if I'm with friends. 450-500 TSS per week by the looks of things.
