Long Rides

@joex

mainly the long solo rides on the TT bike

Do you really need to do many of them though?

I’m wondering if, like long runs, there is limited physiological value in them. Just do a couple of long ones in the final 8 weeks.

Well like anything, it depends what your goal is. If you want to be able to have a decent Ironman run, you need to be pretty strong on the bike; certainly accustomed to being on a bike for many hours. If you want to get around in 15h then it’s not so pressing to do as much training.
