Here we go. December 2008. It's time to start training for the 2009 road season. That means, dust off the road bike and ride the hills. There are a lot of training programs on the street and the internet to follow. You just have to pick the right training plan that fits within your lifestyle. Pick and choose. I will follow the standard 4 week cycle with peaking in 6 months. Within a week, I will try to have two important ride days, Tuesdays and Saturdays, to improve my weaknesses. My early season training plan is as follows:Monday - Rest Day or Group ride.
Tuesday - Hill Repeats or Generic Ride.
Wednesday - Fast pedal.
Thursdays - Interval Days (long or short distance or mixture).
Fridays - Relax.
Saturday- Head to the Hills, except for the 4th week of the cycle which is a flat ride week.
Sunday -Speciality day or Endurance Ride.
The training plan will change as soon as the Prarie City Mountain Bike races come around. I hope that helps.
