How early September have you got 6 weeks? How are your 3 days spaced? Evenly or any B2B days? What was your last months running training like longest run and intensity of any efforts? I can write up a sensible sample plan for you to compare with any others
Retro_Bastard-
Thats very kind, thank you. Normally 2x midweek sessions with a day or 2 between then the 2hr window is a weekend with a day or 2 after. No B2B. Had a race mid June (26km 680m 2hr25 avg HR91% 171bpm so was training for that, and have another (10miler) next Sunday. Typically 40km a week with about 800m elevation. Efforts range from hill sprints 10x 1m on 1min off at 95% mhr to 3 x 15min at 85-90% mhr over rolling terrain.

I posted this on the running thread but have been pointed to here....
Over the past couple of years I have built up some decent running fitness but have had little to no time on the bike. I have a hilly multi day ride (2000m,140km/day 3 days) planned in for early September. I have about 2 x 1hrs and 1x 2hrs a week where I can train. How best to spend my time...? Bearing in mind I've never actually "trained" before when it comes to a bike...
It's not a race, but I also don't want my legs torn off and want to enjoy the evenings and getting back in the saddle.
I live nr hills and have a turbo, but would rather be outside.
Any advice welcome. Ta
