BRF's views on this should be illuminating, as he mostly trains on his own ( I think). He does set aside his mountain day for a Wednesday normally. Should be interesting to learn his method.FredC said:I agree its much better training in company for that amount of time, but it has to be done. I used to think of targets, or note the time I would give myself to get to the next mental marker on the road, that seemed to work OK during a lull in the workrate.
Now here's a more serious method of 5 hour training method. Do 4 hours at normal rate and the last hour flat out (if you dare). Then keep increasing the flat out bit weekly.......No forget it......It's too bloody serious.
Hey listen Phil, I'll bet BRF's wife has got in more more miles than you, and she only goes shopping.
