Just been inspired by a similar thread by fuzzymum to ask a question.
Ok, I'm not as fit as I'd like to be. I've hardly been out over the winter due to pressure of work and horrible weather. I'm on warfarin, and thinned blood and cold weather aren't a great mix. If I was to go on a tour averaging, say, 50 miles a day, how much training would I need to do and more importantly how would I know when I was fit enough - short of going out and cycling 50 miles every day for a week?
After all, isn't 50mpd just 2 1/2 hours in the morning and 2 1/2 hours in the afternoon interspersed by coffee/lunch breaks?
Is that overly simplifying it - or I am worrying about nothing?
Just wondering...
