Looking at the training plans and although id like to try them most are 4 5 or 6 days a week!
Think I'll just aim for 2 30-60 min rides in the week

You don't have to do all of them, especially in the early weeks and months, just build steady workload. Listen to your body and rest when tired.
Also given the Corona virus being around its recommended that gentle cardio workouts and not high intensity (HIT) sessions to protect against cardiomyopathy

From memory Bkool dont follow the recognised industry standard Bluetooth protocols. They have their own which only works on their simulator nothing else

At the moment just concentrate on doing enough to maintain some form of regular exercise for fitness and health. Don’t worry about trying to get fitter right now. Just some kind of maintenance mode.

Im going to start this later, bit confused as the prep starts in about 7 hrs but also the week one starts at 7pm tonight? Should i just skip the prep workouts?
Looking like you could do a workout today or later, just fit in with your schedule
I hit an ftp of 171 on the short FTP test. I've just enrolled on the "Build me up" 12 week plan. My goal is to roll out with the mid-group 2 lot by the time club rides resume at the end of June (hopefully).

What I don't understand is all of the prep work outs are due at the same time do I just pick one of them to do?
