You haven't read Friel have you?
A lot of racers log in tonnes of miles/year. And yes, expect multiple centuries a week if you plan to have a strong enough engine to hang with the big boys.
I think it's hard to "see" results - because we're training a muscle that's deep in our chests. Whereas if we were weightlifters - we can literally measure and see the definition created by workouts.
I'm hoping to cash in 200 miles/week as a student... that equates to ~ 6400 miles by April 2007.
Pretty pathetic if you consider what would be expected if I were to be pro. Then again, if I were - I wouldn't need to go to school and train at the same time...
