Hey group, would need help going through the training schedules. I didnthe full frontal(week) and im ready to hammer down until my trip in November 6th.
Im prepping for a 10+7 days of gravel rides on an avg of 80km and 2000D+
Id like to get some advise on how tonget the best plan using thr wahoo systm planner.
My aim will be FTP for endurance and Climbs. Current attempt is:
Event prep, Cycling, gravel, 300km, 3 weeks hard.
Any recomm to achieve better?
Thank you for the help!
Ive also noticed the app seems tonalways promote racing or nm which I don’t really need. Any way i can ask it so change certain workouts?
Looks like you’ve already made a good selection. The NM focussed workouts are usually short and they hit your system a different way than the workouts that are focussed on sustained efforts. I wouldn’t dismiss them. At the very least, be careful about what you substitute for them. You have to be careful about piling on too much volume and then burning out before you even go on your trip. Lighter days and recovery are important elements of building yourself up.
Another thing to consider…I have found that my FTP and MAP have improved, but my AC has not. I can do harder efforts, but I just cannot recover fast enough. Depending on the nature of your rides, you might want to focus a little on AC as well.
Thanks for the input guys. Ive noticed that basically whatever variation of the options inchoose, i always get pretty much the same format and the same routines, with different length. Is it because the training library quantity is low?
Now im wondering if it would be better to ignore the “gravel” aspect and just focus on the “road cycling” to increase variety.
Is there really a benefit to choosing “Gravel?”
Thank you!
I’ve done various road plans and I’ve done the 60-mile gravel plan a couple of times, but I never directly compared them to each other in detail. They seemed to make sense for what I wanted to get out of them so I just went with it.
