Training Question: Pre-base Training
Hi,
I got back on the bike this year after a 12-year lay-off. Without much of a mileage base or structured preparation of any kind, I've performed OK in competition. I've decide to quit racing for the remainder of the season and start thinking about next year. Popular wisdom suggests that I should begin building my base in November (for a May-September season). How would readers suggest I use my time between now and then? Dope Control |

But seriously; ride for fun, but at least 3x/week and at least for 2h continuously 1x/week. For example: Sunday a long ride, Wednesday and Friday for 1.5h. Nothing too strenuous, preferably ride with one or two friends (not more or it will inevitably become a training race) who you know to be a bit slower. I always like to call up one of a few local woman riders (slash racers) for my recovery rides. -- E. Dronkert |

JT This is amusing to me since I'm in almost exactly the same situation as the original poster, except maybe even older and slower. I pretty much came to the same conclusion and just ride a few times a week for fun. Mostly on a mountain bike out in the woods to get out from under the Florida sun this time of year. Ron |
