being new to posting, but reading lots of these posts, i am calling on all the smart coaches and experienced racers for a pointer or two. i sure cant afford a coach, power tap, heart rate monitor, ar even fancy wheels, but i do have a strong work ethic and strong mind to endure the hard training.
i'm just a weekend warrior, putting in 10 hours a week max., trying to get better, and trying to stay up with the 20-30-40 year olds.
once the base miles have been laid, the 5 month season is ahead me, with nothing big to taper for, just a race every sunday for 2 months before the bigger races appear, what would a good training weekly schedule look like?
with a race every sunday during june and july, nothing big till aug, sept, whats a typical week training like?season starts march 1st. we all want to be good at every sunday race, as getting dropped sucks, so racing march- april, a bit of a break in may then race june- july, with the biggies aug, sept, whats a typical weeek look like??
what i did was race sunday. monday was an ez hour.. teusday was an ez hour. wed was intervals, 5 four minute intervals with 4 minutes rest done very very hard. or 20 minutes very very hard after a few short sprints and a warm up..
thursday and friday an ez hour.. saturday off.
thats roughly a week in my life.. just wondering what the good guys on the board and coaches say to do in a weeks time with no big races coming up, but we all still wnat to be in the main break in all our races. thanks alot for any comments.
