So when do you club guys start thinking/preparing for the "Season"?
Last year I carried my fitness well through the winter with a combination of roughly a swim a run and probably 2 Turbo sessions per week. By early May I was screaming along, probably my peak, was OK-ish through June and July and was going down hill rapidy in August. By End Sept I pretty much parked-up the bike and come October I'd lost so much motivation I wondered if I'd every ride again.
But I've put in some gentle miles so far this year, the odd Turbo session, still running once a week. Doing 40 mile runs on a weekend and trying to ride an evening once a week. Nothing too strenuous but good miles.
When to whack-up the pace? Don't want to peak too early and crash by September.
What do others do?
