Help with training!
I picked up road cycling again in spring mostly to do tri's but have come to realize i truly enjoy it on its own. I sustained a running injury that will have me sidelined for the next 6-8 weeks from running but i can still bike with out problem. My normal training for biking was 3 days a week two shorter days and one longer ride. Short being between 20-30 and long usually going from 50-60 and occasionally went over that. Also in the last month or so i have substituted one of the short rides with some trainer intervals on my own or using the sufferfest videos. Now that biking is my mainstay for a while how should i change my training any advice on plans tips etc? I would like to become a stronger cyclist and would love to start doing road races next season. any help is appreciated thanks!

Throw the stick!!!!
My knees will never allow me to run again, doesn't stop me from riding as far or as hard as I want to though.

sorry for the delayed reply its a very minor metatarsal stress fracture and some bruising. I can bike all day but half mile or less into a run I'm limping. Ill post in the training forum. thanks
