SHOULD WE TRAIN LIKE REMCO?
REMCO EVENPOEL, fresh of a 3-week training block called the Tour de France, just crushed the souls of every single one of his competitors. First smashing the TT, then, in the road race
... just riding away from every one.
And, it got me thinking.
How would we do were we to
- smash ourselves for 3 weeks
- rest a week and blast a TT effort
- rest another week before suiting up for the A race
... with that kind of a build up?
I'm slightly tempted to try it.
I've got 5 weeks until my A race.
Last week was pretty chill,
minus the 3.5 hour race Saturday.
The risk...
... I bury myself, and can't recover.
Why would I even consider it?
Because my fitness is nowhere near where I would like it to be.
If you've been following along, then you know the first quarter of the year was a roughy...
- ICU
- 6 weeks off the bike
- Slowly building back up some fitness
... and, well, what do I have to lose?
The potential reward...
... I crack a new code of training.
I mean, if it works for Remco...
