Century Training With Busy Schedule

[Trek420]

I'd like to complete a century in the next few months and have been trying to come up with a training plan. I've found several that are similar in that the time it takes to train is 8-10 weeks. No problem. The part I struggle with is that they have you riding 6 days a week. That's just not a reality in my life.

Dar and all,

If I don't revisit this thread when I get back from ALC would y'all remind me or kick me or sumthin? I hear you.

We all have such busy lives. Makes it hard to keep that schedule.

I don't think there are any shortcuts for basic fitness and base miles but I might have a few tips for the busy athlete.

If I have a good ride again this year I'll gather my thoughts and list them, if I'm miserable and bonk I'll say "follow those charts or stay home."
