    I have read alot about traning here and was wondering if this was a good fit for me. I started about a month ago and have about 850 miles down. Mostly long rides at a reasonable speed-17-18mph for an average on rides from 50-60 miles. By reading I have come to a conclusion that these could be my base miles? Now I should have high intensity intervals in my rides while making them shorter-correct?

    Here is a training program-does this look good

    Sunday-1-2 hours with 5 minute intervals
    Monday-off(school)
    Tuesday-1-2 hours 5 minute intervals
    Wednesday-off(school)
    Thursday-1-2 hours 5 minute intervals
    Friday-1-2 hours 5 minute intervals
    Saturday-3-6 hour ride

    Is this a good program or should I change my intervals. I do not have a heart rate monitor for home use but in fitness class I have found it to be 49 bpm if that helps.

    Also I am going to get a trainer for my bike to ride at night when I get home from work, could I use this and still do the same rides?

    Just to add-Today I rode for about an hour and a half and started out with 6 minute intervals with 3 minutes of rest. Toward the end I did 10 with three. So instead of 5 i could do ten. Also while in the 10 minute interval I keep my cadence between 100-115. Will this traing program help me get better? Also if so what is a good cadence for my rest period, also what is a good time for my rest period?
