hello

saturday and mondays are pre scribed as easy days 60% intensity of maximal heart rate. Also and wednesday is day with 4 *200 metre sprints included in 2 hour ride excluding the 200 metre sprints and warm and warm down what intensity is the rest of the ride done at (as percentage of maximal heart rate). Also the same for tuesday and thursday excluding intervals and warm and down what intensity would you expect the rest of the ride to be done at (as % of maximal heart rate)

Grady,

1) Please have a look at this article:
http://www.training4cyclists.com/what-does-3×3-minutes-vo2-max-mean/

2) It’s 4 x 200m, not 4 x 200min..!

3) 2 intervals of 10min each with an intensity around anaerobic threshold (AT).

Best regards,

Jesper

Hi Jasper.
With a friend and my son we intend to cycle from one end of the UK to the other via Belfast and Dublin in June 2010. I’ll be 48 then and do not want to let the team down. Which training regime would you recommend I embark on now. In total it’ll be over 1000 miles in 14 days so some days will be in excess of 100 miles. So far my previous longest distance is 58.
Thanks

Bob
