I have been diligently training for a three-day 330 mile bike ride that will take place next month. I know myself and know that if it weren't for organized classes I wouldn't train! So, I have been working out at a local gym. I have been consistently working out through classes since last fall and for the past three months, my workouts have increased to six days a week. The classes I take include: spinning four days, body pump three days, kickboxing one day, and cardiobuffet one day. I also do a calf and squat routine as well as go for bike rides in my neighborhood.

I guess I'm feeling a little despondent. I took a spinning class on Saturday and was talking to the instructor after class. I was getting some advice from him regarding my training and I left there thinking that I have done myself a disservice with my exercise regimen. I am feeling really good with my workouts but he led me to believe that I am not focusing on areas that will enable me to complete the ride. I don't know what else I can do! I was feeling pretty good about my routine but now I'm wondering if I've blown this period of time with worthless training.

Because the ride I'm participating in is in another state, there are no local training sessions available to me.

Can someone tell me if I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks and I apologize for the lengthiness of this message.
