Hello, I am a 20 year old male, about 5 foot 9 inches tall and 140 pounds. I have been road riding for about 2 years now, nothing serious just going for rides up to 50 miles at about 90 RPMs cadance and about 15 miles per hour. I have finally decided to put in the necessary time, energy and pain to start training for road races next year. I have been reading many different views on how to train and each one does not seem to beable to fit in my schedule. I can train about 8-9 hours a week with most of the time on the weekends. The races I plan to ride in are 20-30 mile circuits in Ohio with fairly flat to rolling roads. I dont belong to any teams or have any other cycling buddies to ride with so I am preaty much solo in training. I would like overall training which would prepare me for every possible situation in a race including climbing, sprinting, attacking,endurance, etc. Like I said earler, I have about a year to train for the races so I would like a good quality schedule that would prepare me for races and also build my "aerobic engine". Anyone know of a day by day training schedule that fits what I am looking for? If not, where is a good place to find one. Thanks for helping a beginner! -Andrew G.
