I stoped training in august because I was mentally 'saturated'. I had almost forgotten the post-training pain in my legs, and now it's back again and I love it. Comparing to previous years Im doing more intervals at this time of the season, in fact last year I only did endurance rides, which was boring, adding some intervals helps to make the rides more interesting. My 4h solo rides are more mentally than physically tiring, it's not easy to ride 4h under cold and wind...ok,ok, this is spain so 'cold' here is like mild weather in northern europe. I feel Im improving every day! This is my fourth training week, and I thought I could post some comments.

The tests are performed at flat terrain since that is where Gonzalo is going to compete in the spring. If he was supposed to compete in the mountains, I would have recommend testing there. I think it is important to make the tests and the training so similar to the competitions as possible. I understand your interest in knowing the complete program, but I prefer to keep my work with Gonzalo since it is a personal training program. Riders who were interested in participating had their chance back in December when I asked for volunteers. Nevertheless, I understand why you ask and as I said in a previous comment, I will try to share some more details about the training programs in the future, but not the entire program. Patrick,

In what terrain are the CP-Tests made? Flat, climb, etc. It would be very interesting, if you present his planned training, what he really did, and the results. Every rider knows, that looking foward to a period is always different to looking back... Good luck Gonzalo, and great work Jesper! Hello,

But if I have the time for it I will love to see my boys do well in the crosswinds. My category B will be more than ready to punish their opponents... :-) I only work as a coach so I am not riding competitions at all.
