I have Warren giving me some ideas. It is more to hear what guys like you would do with an hour per day. With limited time , I seem to be doing well, but like to hear from others too. Lets hear it Jacko
Me?
Well....at the moment I'm getting towards the end of what I call my 'pre-season'. My first race isn't until early January (Victorian Masters Kilo and Sprint Championships).
Currently:
Mon. 5:30am - 2 hrs. Road bike, mix of hills and flat.
Tues. 7:30am - Weights 1hr (just starting to increase weight and intensity now)
Wed. 5:30am 2hrs road bike. 6pm 1:30hr MTB (just a fun ride in the bush with mates - not serious training)
Thurs. 7:30am weights 1hr.
Fri. 5:30am 2 hrs road bike
Sat. Club road race or 1:30hrs road ride.
Sun. Nothing ('tis "family" day)
Pretty soon I'll be incorporating Vo2 intervals into the road rides (4 x 5min on, 5min off @ 170 heart rate and 120 cadence)
Then Three weeks out from the state titles I'll do 2 weeks of Lactic intervals (4 x 20sec standing start, 1 min off x 3 sets with 5 min off between each.) followed by one week of downhill sprints. (88" gear starting @ 40km/h x 4)
Then back to Vo2 intervals for a couple of weeks, then 6 weeks out from the Aussie titles in March I'll start lactic intervals again for 4 weeks and then 2 weeks of downhill sprints before the race.
THEN...a bit of a break for a couple of weeks before starting again for the Masters Worlds in October.
I'd like to see what others are doing too 'cause we're always looking at trying to do things better eh?
