Not having the luxury of 4-5 hour training rides whenever I want, I am hoping to build a base and slim down by riding loads of tempo/SST.
The plan is to try to do 2-3 "SST rides" per week
(1.25-3 hours with 45 minutes - 1.5 hours of climbing at SST intensity), and get one recovery and one 4-5 hour endurance ride (tempo on climbs?) in if I can.
I figure I can do 2 days of SST in a row ... I am getting used to not riding climbs at full L4 2x20 intensity and I find I can ride more climbs and do multiple days if I back off to about 90% FTP ...
Any thoughts or observations?
