So I have been a stay at home dad/mid to back of pack pro for the last few years. I’m really trying to push my limits in this coming season and have been able to put in more consistent hours than ever before due to waking at 4 every day to fit in 1.5 - 2 hours on the bike every morning. All on trainer. I’ve recently added a 45 minute extra easier steady state ride during the end of my younger ones nap and before I pick up my son from school. This puts me at 2 to 2.5 hours per day on the bike. I’ve had most weeks recently be at 12-13 hours just on the trainer.
Question is... am I gaining anything by simply adding a shorter easier ride? My morning workouts are a mix of tempo/FT/VO2.
I’m also fitting in 30-40 miles of running and 15-20k of swimming. Childcare at a gym is the best thing since the discovery of sex. I would not be doing this without it.
Anyways, thank you for any input. Been self coached for 15 years and I find self coaching and experimentation to be part of why I like this sport. So no... no coach in my future.
