  • 10 minutes max effort x 4?
    Sounds grim. Though if you’re used to a higher workload, then the workouts might be hard, but easier to recover from?

    I planned to do 1h at high zone 2 today, but rode with a mate on zwift so ended up doing 40 minutes of that around threshold.
    Good start....

  • Sorry I should be clear. Maximum for what I could do for 4 of them. Not for 1 10 min. Though it's not far off in relative terms per effort.

    I'm not saying what I do is right fyi, just an example.

  • I guess what’s optimal is different for everyone. But the question is how do you find out, without potentially wasting a winter of training?

    Polarised training makes sense, take the traditional winter base riding but add some high intensity to stay sharp. Particularly if you don’t have full time pro rider hours available.
