How is training going, how many miles should I be doing
I was wondering how many miles/hours you are training at this point? I'm trying to ride almost everyday much as I can, but sometimes feel exhausted by Saturday, which is one of the 2 days I can put in a lot of miles. I am thinking I should not be riding 7 days a week. What do you think?
The weather and darkness hinder me
I can only ride in the a.m. and because it is dark at 5 and cold. I ride on a trainer for one hour. I start off in an easy gear working towards harder gears, then spend 5 minutes on easy gears. I've only been able to go to the gym once a week for weight training. Every other week (wednesday) I'm skipping work and riding 35-45, hilly routes. Saturdays wind up being 50-60 (with lots of hills), Sundays wind up being 35-45. Trying to ride a century a month somewhere in all this too.
I think I'm not eating correctly either, but have recently made some changes that seem to help. Have missed some of the ALC training rides. But that is cuz the group I'm with seems to care more about the social aspects of fundraising that the training. I keep saying -balance ladies.
Now that I've reached my goal, I may cut back on the group fundraising. Maybe not the nicest thing to do. But maybe I should spend a few more days at the gym? Less on the trainer?
