My goal for the season is this year's ETAPE (july 11th). Since January I've trained with a steady diet of 2*20 minute intervals twice a week, plus two endurance rides at the weekend. Since the end of March one of the endurance rides has been replaced with a 3rd cat road race...Ok so I'm fitter than I've ever been in three years of cycling!... My Average tt/rr heart race is 168. My max is 193 (although this year its only been 186)
So here's the thing... I think I've plateaued on the 20min time trial efforts so last week I decided to drop them (mmm!)and do five shorter 4min (hard as you can!) intervals twice a week and do either a crit/hour time trial at the weekend plus a long endurance ride. What do you guys think and would you do things differently?
