how long between long rides?
Quote | Reply
Hello ST,
I'm hoping someone will advise me.... I am training for IMMT and have just two long rides left. I just did 105 on Friday. Is Wednesday too soon to ride about the same distance? My body feels fine/recovered, and while I'd rather have two more days before thinking about it again, Wednesday's what works best this week. I want to get the ride in this week, without compromising everything I've done up until now.
Thanks so much!

4 to 5 days should be plenty of recovery.

Tour riders do their long rides daily. It really depends on your cycling fitness and how it fits into total training plan. Since you feel recovered, go for it. Your body will tell you if it is too soon, but it may tell you a bit too late.

It wasn't exactly the plan but went out for 93 miles Sunday and am about to head out for another 85-90ish today. That ride was supposed to be Thursday but I have jury duty, ugh!, so I switched my 2 hour and 4 hour rides. We will see how it works out! And it's hot today. I'll post when I get home to let you know how my legs felt.
