Hi everyone I have a few questions concerning training (here's a bit about me) I used to ride national juniors and was ranked 4th, could have won nationals but I entered a criterium the day before and melted my legs racing pro mens, lesson learnt I used to train with the road race national champ and whilst in hind sight the workload was way too much , never mind the intensity of 60 km a day avg of real hard riding, Sprints, attacks, chasing cars busses etc Any way now I am 22 and just got back on the bike after my service in the paras. Now having read every book you can buy nearly about training etc ii have a lot of thoughts but nothing I am willing to commit too, Edmund Burke Joe friel etc I just don't know what to do, Please can you guys give me a hand here, I am looking to start racing next year after a good winter , I am a pretty hard ******* and I can really turn myself inside out when training, But I want to do things right this time, and not over do things again I just can't get head around how much intervals and high intensity stuff everyone does these days, I weight 66 kg, 5ft 9, ride a 51cm sloping Geo bike with 105, and fitted right for me with longer stem etc I train with HR and don't have power . My max HR is 191 LT is 169 current from the lab My riding style has always been high cadence 100-140 Naturally good on disgustingly long hills, but struggle on short stuff that big guys smash up, I also for some reason now can't rise on the drops bcos It makes my HR rise alot and I can feel my legs fatigue straight away, possibly flex issues? In summary them, how can I get ready for the racing scene next year, I want to destroy people and make them cry trying to hold my wheel, currently on rice beans and sweet potatoes diet which is delightful lol no I quite like it, I am living in the Cotswolds Thanks
