what were you doing for exercise before the bike?

typical programs run 4 week cycles, with the fourth week is the "easy" week...so you ramp your miles, then take an easier week to recover and continue from there.

also, menstrual cycles, colds can affect your ride.
I try to drink lots before/during/after and use GU2O/water for hydration during.
Before biking I did a lot of aerobic workouts, the intense kind, and still want to do that as cross-training otherwise as I love it. I also have ran, and MTBiked a lot.
Interesting concept, the 4 week one, and I'd like to split it down even more, like a weekly training.
Good point about menstrual cycles as I did my 70mi during my prds, and that may have affected me.
