I do intervals 3x a week and have 1 day rest between where I do upper body and core work and a easy spin. The Intervals are Intervals are various with 60 to 75 minutes steady state intensity like 4 or 5x15 etc. I also do a Z2 ride of 3 to 3 hours once a week. I have plenty of time available being retired.

LOL, I like that!
