How much base do you need for ~1 hour CX races?
For me, the turbo is only bearable if I feel like I’m getting the benefit of working at or above threshold.
You can't do the sessions with the intensity you need for cross without a solid base, so whilst 4 hour rides are probably too much, you still need to devote a good chunk of your training year to base training.
