Hi!
I'm now two weeks away from the national road race championship. The race will be 200 kms mostly flat. The sunday before there will be a 'practice' race similar in length and course.
This weekend I will be racing both sat and sun. The races will be 150 kms. After a peak in mid may I took a small break and started building again. Today CTL is 125 and TSB +1.
The championship is held on the 30th. Most guys in the peloton would continue with their normal training up until the practice race and then have two very long and hard rides - tempo end threshold - tue and wed and then three days of recovery before the championship. This is very different from the tapering advise I've been reading around on the internet.
How would you approach training in the last two weeks?
