    Cheers Phil. Ah, that's interesting. I'm doing one week on and three off. That would explain my increase in kg per watts.
    Regards.

    one week prior to a race, I usually do 3-4 short taper rides with few short effort, the day before a little wake up ride with 2-3 kicks , ever since I do that I have never had really bad legs on race day... when I started cycling/ triathlon I used to take 4-5 days OFF prior to races , that was terrible in comparison. In normal training I do the 3:1 ratio

      I'm afraid your posting in the wrong channel. I feel there is not much personal experience in this area from the author. Maybe try submitting the question to Trainerroad forum or other online places where people mixing day to day jobs and training gather up.

    25 hours! Much more than 12 and bit's of me start falling off and I am too fatigued to train .... still I am 54 year old trying to keep my 4.5wkg benchmark. Optimal is 8 hours rest week is 5.

    Anyone else do better with 2 on 1 off? I find I can actually handle more load and recover better with 2/1 than when I’ve tried 3 on 1 off.

    • @evanmacdougall9715
      @evanmacdougall9715 4 года назад

      I came here looking for this comment. I was doing 3/1, but now doing 2/1 and my body seems to like 2/1 better than 3/1. But maybe that's because this sort of feels like the off-season and i should do 3/1 again when racing comes back. Or maybe that's because I'm getting older and I need more recovery...

    • @ljdematta
      @ljdematta 3 года назад

      This comment is almost a year old lol. For me, 3 on 1 off works perfect if you are doing progressive overload. Makes you get really toasted on the third week, but doable.

    Well i'm currently having enforced rest after getting wiped out by a car. Lucky to only have a contusion in my left quad but looking like a few weeks off the bike. Apparently you have SOME experience with injury layoffs... any tips for staying sane? Keep up the good videos!

  • @Knud451
    @Knud451 4 года назад +1

    Thanks! Honest question. I have a hard time eating enough to recover. And the more tired I get, the more I seem to lose my appetite. How do you get in enough calories with feeling sick? It would be awesome with a video on the calories/nutrition side of recovery over a full training block, not just a single day :)

    • @ben1447
      @ben1447 4 года назад +1

      I know your question was directed at the Phil, but I would like to share how i consume enough calories. I use lots of oats, not the instant kind. I soak them in water to soften them in the fridge put them in a blender with some peanut butter and frozen berries then whizz up and drink, I find if I dont soak them it's like shitting glass. I find eating an effort but I can down drinks without much thought.

    • @sasquatchrosefarts
      @sasquatchrosefarts 2 года назад

      Cap your training at ten hours a week until you are pro. Train smarter and more specific . Not more hours. Isolated leg work. Low/high cadence. Focus on smoothness. Riding in the drops, standing/seated. Sprints. Climbing. I never made bigger Improvements than when I capped my hours, which forces qualitative training vs endless hours. My ftp was about the same as phil. If you're curious. Age 22.

  • @berndyorokai9283
    @berndyorokai9283 4 года назад

    How about doing other sports in your rest week in the "cut-out" hours? Like upper-body weightlifting, swimming, climbing? Would that be ok? Also, how do you feel about sauna, is that helping?
    Cheers!

    So I was hoping you'd make it okay to lie on the couch for the entire week, with like DoorDash deliveries for extra credit. And thanks, Phil, for this, always fascinating to hear how it is done right, how all of it is done right, everything from truckin' up the big climbs to just chillin' out with those ice legs.

    My tip is to *never* take an easy week. I’ve just had one, riding Zone 2 only for whole week. An on Saturday I crashed - broken collarbone and end of dreams about a new PB FTP I was aiming in today’s test. Listen to my story.
    *Edited*: this is an irony... Of course, regular easy periods are essential to get growths...
