Neither - ride for time, not distance The distance and average speed will sort themselves out as you are able to ride longerclack3rz said:As the titles states......
should I work on the distance 1st and be able to ride further in a single ride or should I work on getting a better avg speed on shorter distances before increasing my rides?

Thanks - I might try this out first. I suppose that my issue is that I don't ride in any charity rides, races etc - maybe will one day - so it's hard for me to have a 'goal' to work towards. If I mix it up a bit, then I should get the best of both worlds - a bit of speed and endurance. Have mini goals for my weekly training and w/end endurance rides.oneradtec said:You can do both. You have 4-6 rides per week. Why should they all be the same. Do a longer ride(or two) on weekends to build endurance. Make 1 or 2 of the other rides a little more intense. Mix in rest and good nutrition. You'll get faster and stronger, and will be able to handle longer distances too.
