The Giro; they say that you need to go through a Grand Tour to move to the next level as a rider, do you think that’s true?
this question was just asked to a pro rider, and has been asked a few time's i have read and all the riders answer "yes".. why and how do you move to a higher level when you hammer 19 out of 21 days? do us weekend warriors need to "shock" our bodies like this to improve to the next level? maybe do a hard week of hammering, rest a day and do another week like this? just curious. per all my rerading and the training advice i got over the years, i hear hard, ez, a hard one maybe back to back, rest, long, ez ,rest again..etc...
they say you get stronger when your resting/recovering, so how does one reach the next higher level going hard 19 out of 21 days?
what can us weekend warriors do to get to the nexl level?
i miagine most of us would come down with a cold, from lack of rest or an injury..
of course they are all way more tallented than all of us, get the massages, do nothing but train, but still, where is their rest to recover?
so how do you get to a higher level going this hard this many days in a row?
just curious
