A couple of months ago I read a TE thread about training for a century in which someone posted a link to a very straightforward training schedule. I think it was one page printed out and ran 12 weeks, maybe 16 weeks? It laid out a sequence of rides, day-by-day---some short, some long, some easy, some hard, with days off, too.
Naturally, now I can't find the thread/link again to print out the schedule!Not sure how recent the discussion was, could be a couple of years old, but probably no more recent than last November......Can anyone point me to the right thread? Or to the link itself? Thanks!

Not sure this one is the link you're thinking of, but it's pretty straightforward:

Thanks! I'm not sure if this is *the* same schedule I saw months ago, but it's probably close enough to get me rolling along in the right direction.......

For another one, try Googling Cascade Bicycle Club in Seattle, and check out their ride link for the STP (Seattle To Portland) ride. They usually have a century training plan somewhere there.

can you guys explain that schedule to me?
I get that the numbers are miles? And brisk is about pace..but what is "pace"?
someday I'd like to do a century too....

pace is normally expressed as how long it would take you to do a mile at your current speed. So a 5:00 pace is 5 minutes to do one mile. Addressing pace should relate to your current ability. That 5 minute pace is great for some, bad for others.
So a brisk pace would just be where you are exerting yourself, a little out of your comfort level.
