Ok That works. But I always have this question. I don't really have trails here that are low intensity. Unfortunately all of the trails really stress my levels and push my heartrate up. This isn't always from climbing but from the ratcheting required. Maybe it is the way I ride but i can't seem to maintain a spin let alone a regulated heart rate. Although this might be easier with lighter (smaller) wheels.
80km...wowsers. Thats like the test of metal level riding. Right now my longest ride is 25km and my most intense ever was a 6km ride (almost vertical). I will take these suggestions. Maybe its time for me to find some 'easy' trails that are longer and more endurance based...hmmm going to have to look for those I think.
Jp, since I also do dh and love a good short intense ride what would you suggest for a plan (obviously a loose plan)
monday - easy low intensity
wednesday - dh (this is usually 4 hours and is far more anaerobic then aerobic...that and adrenaline filled)
friday - short and intense (1 to 2 hours maxed out)
Thank you.
