Quick bit of detail first.
I'm 265, ish, 53 yes old, back to cycling for 2 months after 15 year break due to illness when I did almost Zero exercise.
I currently am riding every day, between 30Km (19Ml approx), bare minimum and 60Km (38Ml Approx), split in to two rides. Distance varies on how I feel and the 30Km ride is the first of the day. Too tired I don't go again. Occasionally I take a day's break after a hard day. Now being realistic I know I am not going to keep riding that much all the time, but distance will go up.
I am trying to lose the weight by the way. lol What a surprise.
If I take a 5 day riding week at 30Km a day, Then take off another couple of weeks for injury or traveling etc. I was surprised to find that it works out to 3840Km (2400Ml Approx) a year.
Now the question. ( although I know the answer is highly subjective)
Am I overdoing it and should I have a more structured training program?
