Best Bang for the Buck
Let's say you're limited to riding 5 hrs a week. What is the best way to train? Five 1 hr rides at 95-100% of your FTP and 2 days off the bike?
I'm kind of starting over after 2 yrs off the bike and I live in a very hilly area. Even when I go out to try and take it easy the hills usually put my normalized power at around 90%-100% of my FTP every time on a little 1 hr ride. Am I going to burn out if I keep that up? Do I need to concentrate on getting recovery rides in the mix?
