Why do zone training on the club run?????

I'd do a muscle biopsy, as long as someone else paid.

Toks/Marek
I'm writing for myself only here
I ride a minimum of 12h a week, of which 80% is commuting
I've done the one-dimension, always ride fast approach for at least the last 5 years
I've had some degree of success in racing but can't say I've made big noticeable improvements in that time
In my case it's fairly obvious there is something else to be done, the fact that someone who doesn't know me in Canada could deduct this just looking at my test result just demonstrates that black on white
I'm currently using my commuting miles as LBP-20 / breathing technique training and enjoying every minute of it (1h45 this morning in sunny London), but would agree that using the clubrun for this is less than ideal (that's when the remaining 20% might come into play )
For me the LBP-20 will only be one component of a more structured global approach to training, a thing that I've never really done before
I am looking forward to next season already and to see how me and the other ACC racers will be doing throughout their different training methods
We're gonna have a ball in team ACC I can tell you


Ps I tell you back in around 2002 (and especially when I was doing only mtb) it felt like I was the only one doing any racing in the club. I wasn't really reading the road/TT reports and results but even those were not plentiful. I'm amazed at what (part of) the club has become on this side, with people motivated to train and get better and better results. Whatever method they use, it's all good in the end.

I am doing my zone training on the club run because it's the only time I have to be sociable. All the other trianing on the bike is on me billy-own! So it's nice to have a chat when I can.

So no one needs to improve their abilities at riding in a bunch then. Funny that.

I know this is the 'Training' forum, but lets be serious, training is about more than just physical fitness.

Some of the riding I see on the club run is quite frankly dangeous.

Sean, that was class and totally outdone me. Not bad for a fat bloke!

I have tears rolling down my cheek, cheers bud

Ps only kidding about the fat thing, you're spot on, you just need to grow another foot taller

[quote]4. You ain't got the training time, probably never will have, so cut to the chase and stop faffing around

Hi all, Thaks for all your kind words in public and private. This club is to die for, full of some real quality people. I second what Andrew is trying to say.

It is after all called the Addiscombe Cycling Club and not the Addiscombe Racing Club. The banter and comedy makes this forum as well as a place to answer ANY question.

It's all got a bit heavy lately and Marco done the right thing an a level headed way, I will now be calling him dad.

I think we forgot to mention the LBP sprint last Saturday on the way to Charlwood village, I'm sure you'd laugh too much if I told you.
