Hi everyone. I'll try and keep this short. I've been out of the cycling game for about 8 months. I have about 2.5 months to train for a long, touring type of ride that will hopefully cover about 350 miles. That is the priority, but I also want to throw in some training for more race-type of situations for the upcoming summer.
If necessary: I am 20 years old, 5'11", 150lbs. Max HR is about 200bpm, but my resting HR is fairly high (85ish).
Here's what I got:
day 1 - 5 x (4min high intensity + 2min low intensity), 5 minutes cool down
day 2 - 2x20 minutes at 95% of your best pace for that time with 5 minutes rest between plus warmup and cooldown
day 3 - 2x30 minutes at 85-90% of your best pace for the duration(a bit easier than day 3, but longer)
day 4 - rest
day 5 - 5 x (4min high intensity + 2min low intensity), 5 minutes cool down
day 6 - 2x30 minutes at 85-90% of your best pace for the duration(a bit easier than day 3, but longer)
day 7 - rest
Thoughts? Thanks!
