Ok, I just ordered Freil's book. I guess I'll be studying that over the next few weeks. Hopefully that will be all I need to get some direction to my training.
As for the coach holding me accountable - It wasn't so much that they would motivate me to ride, but they would tell me what to do, instead of me just going out and riding 60 miles, or doing a random number of hill repeats. I guess what I am looking for is a more focused workout that has specific goals, and targets my weaknesses, and thats something I have trouble doing by myself now.
EDIT:I am training with a HRM, but I don't really know my lactate threshold so I don't really know where my zones are.
