Heard of an 80/20?
The idea that often 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes?
With the idea that you then focus your efforts on this 20%
Has anyone ever sat down with this and their training and cut certain things out?
I basically did and it was swimming in the pool.
Don't get me wrong I don't mind swimming, but getting to the pool and back is a real pain. It takes at least an hour of biking and getting changed each way, so 3 hours of my day. The biking is not training. It's through a town on horrible dangerous roads. Another reason it's been cut.
I'm trying to find a better pool, moving house soon which should help.
As a result on not swimming in the pool each day my swimming likely sucks now, but I use stretch cords 3 times a day for 10 minutes and my FTP is up around 20-30w. I reckon this will prove out the theory above. I will be getting back in the pool, but only 3 times a week and only in the 3-4 months leading up to race season.
What do others think?
