There's already been a thread about how much people train, but I'm curious to see how you train: What sorts of stuff at different parts of the year, what sorts of intervals, stuff like that. IT'd also help if you included your level.

Cat 4 (upgrading to 3 soon. Hopefully!)
Currently I'm doing about two lactate threshold sessions a week 3x14, 2x20, as well as one or two vo2max session a week (6x4, 5x5, etc). I usually do two or three hard weeks followed by one easier week where I do one hard session maybe. In addition to this I usually do one long session 3.5-4 hours. Also a tempo session or two, plus some recovery. As I get closer to the season I'll replace one of the vo2 or thresholds with anaerobic intervals. My favorite sets of these include: 30 seconds on/30 offx5 with 4 sets and 5 minutes between sets, or just 1x1's until I fall over........... Anyway, I'm curious to see what others are doing. I've taken the anti-base philosphy, due to the nice weather, early season races, and some of the stuff on the training forum of this site.
