Scott Molina finally said what I've always suspected about IM training. Pushing the envelope works! Ya, ya, ya, you need to rest too.
I have heard more than one coach say, "do as I say, not as I do". And these are coaches that used to be at the top of the IM game as athletes.
So what does that tell you?
Dan once commented on doing 3-4 day mega rides, basically 100 miles a day back to back. I tried that last year and it boosted my endurance tremendously for the rest of my training cycle. Most IM plans don't have you riding more than 4 100+ mile rides in an entire training cycle, let alone doing them back to back.
