Hi, I was just finalizing my winter training plan and was looking for some opinions... Also, I got a SS Karate Monkey a couple of weeks ago and I have been enjoying the technical Single track riding, so I decided to ride the Mt bike as much as possible until its too cold to ride outside in IOWA
My original plan was to ride the trainer 3-4 times per week for 1 hour. The main set is 1x40 at around 85% FTP with avg HR around 148.. IF HR stays low I bump up the watts on the computrainer but try to keep HR<150 (Dr Maffetone philosphy.) Anyways, the 4th day would b a hilly group gravel ride were we punch it on short steep hills and I avg about 0.75IF.. If no outside riding then back on the trainer instead..
So now I'm still gonna use the trainer but also Mt biking for skills and just the pure exhilarating feeling I'm getting from it!
Monday/Tuesday AM trainer 1x30 at ~85% FTP ~50TSS
PM 90min Mt Biking with HrTSS ~100
Wed PM 2hs Mt Biking with HrTSS ~130
Thurs Group gravel ride 3hrs and ~150TSS
Fri OFF
Sat Trainer 1x40 at ~85 ~65TSS
Sun OFF
I plan on skipping the Mt Bike and doing 1x40 on mondays and tuesdays if the weather sucks.. I work weekends and off M-TH
Thanks in advance, and I appreciate any input!
