This is true. But i've been doing it anyway. I had my biggest loss last week, 5 lbs. This week I cant push myself to ride any harder than a tempo pace. I literally dont have the gas to do it. I'm ok going hard with 1-2 lbs a weeks off. I still dont know how i managed 5lbs. Im not complaining mind you. However, I've pretty much have scratched all my interval workouts for the week and will just concentrating on time in the saddle to the training hours to the prescribed levels. (And lose more weight). I need about 10 more off before the end of the month for when the big crits come up. Doing flat crits is not a big deal for me at 195 lbs.
