So what are people doing these days for Winter training? Have you changed what you have been doing? Has it helped?

My typical winter week is getting out to ride when the weather allows, with no plan other than just riding they way I feel like riding. That means no FTP tests or intervals.

But it seems that the new winter training advice is to dial back the volume, but not the intensity. And those long, slow rides are right out.

It sure would be nice to come into Spring with a solid fitness base (for once).

What to do?
