Hi All,
If some of you are looking for a structured training plan to get in
shape, but want to do it yourself without a coach, I created a web
site that allows you to create your own plan.
http://www.freetrainingplan.com
You enter the date you want to peak, the date you want to start
training, and workouts will be created for your base, build, race
preparation, and taper phases. And within each phase, you will get a
micro cycle that builds up then has a recovery period.
Thanks,
Michel
One of the great Italian cyclists, Fausto Coppi, had the following
advice.
Ride the bike, ride the bike, ride the bike!

Did he not combine riding the bike with significant levels of substance
use?

Indeed (I think his case was the first TDF drugs scandal) but if he'd
stopped after "ride the bike" rather than trying to do it again and
again he probably wouldn't have dropped dead. OTOH if riders hadn't
been restricted in the amount of water they were allowed then he might
well have survived.

Yes, I'd forgotten about the water limits. Still, it's reassuring to
know that the organisers of the TdF have always been somewhat bonkers.
Cheers,

Wasn't racing then. Died in Jan 1960, of malaria I think.
