So the caveat here is that the newbie rider or a rider who had a looong layoff should not dive into FTP type of training this winter, without "getting some base" first. For athletes who were racing "long" last summer, they already have base.

OK, so I'm your newb rider then- started riding last April, trained/raced through early October, haven't been on the bike since, until yesterday. What should I be doing before hitting the bike hard? I come from a pretty competitive running background, so my cardio is fine, but I am less than good at cycling. What does a newb cycling base look like for someone planning to do Oly/HIM next summer and fall?


Change riding for running and u can answer your own question...

The entire event (IM) is like "death by 1000 cuts" and the best race is minimizing all those cuts and losing less blood than the other guy. - Dev
