yo.
I'm probably going to do the grand défi pierre lavoie this summer.
I haven't ridden my bike in probably over 3 years as I favored running over cycling.
My goal is to be able to ride a sustained 30 km/h for 3 hours (let's assume on a flat surface with light winds).
In your opinion, what is the best way to train for this?
Assume all the below are accompanied by a proper warm-up / cool-down.
Assume my winter training will be done on my Kinetic by Kurt Road Machine (fluid resistance... oldie but a goodie?)
1) Gradual time increments spent at 30 kmh/s, so for example, Day 1 15 minutes @ 30 kmh/h, Day 3 20 minutes @ 30 km/h, Day 5 25 minutes @ 30 km/h
2) Gradual speed increments, so for example, Day 1 1 hour @ 20 km/h, Day 3 1 hour @ 21 km/h, etc... and then slowly up the time increments when I can on weekends
I realize the above sounds very rigid, but I like to follow workout plans, it's worked great for my running!
Thanks
