I'm as hardcore as I want to be. To me, racers are hardcore. I have a lot of friends who are racers. They train to power and constantly do interval training.

I plan on doing long endurance rides this year. I've got a 75, 68, 140, 100, 100, 112 mile rides planned this summer. I did Zwift consistently during the winter and I ride four times a week. My bank account says I'm hardcore, but my legs say otherwise.

My goal is to be in good enough shape to do endurance rides and not get dropped on the slightest hint of a hill. I saw a video on Youtube and they were asking Cat racers how many hours a week they train. Most of them train 10 to 12 hours a week. Even though I have a power meter, I don't let the numbers get in the way of enjoying my rides.
