  • Yeah, 40 min 10k without training makes be a bit sad inside...

    I’m planning on adding 1h at mid-high zone 2 at 90-95rpm every morning before breakfast, see whether I can build a higher level of fatigue resistance.

    I would be interested to hear how this works for you.

    I’m better setup for weekday very short rides (1-1.5hrs) this winter. I’m lucky I do have some good roads for training (inc a TT course just up the road).

    I need to build ‘base’ but have no idea how to do that with these short rides. Just ride everything just below threshold? Who knows.

  • Just ride everything just below threshold?

    You’ll hit a plateau.
    Or at least that is the theoretical outcome.

  • How many hours do you have a week?

  • 4-5 sessions of 1-1.5h just below threshold sounds pretty grim, and will probably put you into a dark hole...

    Riding intervals at sweetspot seems to provide enough training stress while not stressing your body too much. With regular small increases in watts throughout the winter?
