Question about Century training
 

Since 2010 I've ridden six centuries on my 36er unicycle, with the last three actually being longer: 114, 120 & 150. The 150 is the most recent, ridden on 1/16/15. Since then I've done many shorter rides, in the 20-35 mile range, and I feel fit and confident that I could do another century early next month without any problems, given all my past training and experience.

My question is, do you think that since so many months have passed since my last long ride, that the benefits of all the previous centuries would be lost? I'm planning on riding a regular century on 6/4/15, and now wonder whether I should still follow the "75%" rule, and do a 75 mile ride a week or two before? Would appreciate your thoughts and advice.

Cheers,

Terry

All the benefits are not lost, just some of them. I like to ride my bike, so that's what I would do. You don't have to ride over 30 miles at any one time, ever, to ride a century. However it does make a difference how many miles/week you ride, the terrain in which you ride them, and how hard you ride them.

Thanks for the advice!
