This past week has been tough taking a rest week and then trying to get back into doing those "long intervals". I realize that there are only a few more road races and criteriums left. As road season is coming to an end soon, maintaining my fitness and form has been tougher than I thought. I have found a very good article written by Adam Myerson from Cycle-smart that I would like to share with all of you. Here is a quote from his article.
" The key is recognizing that for the most part you don't have to train anymore. With only a month left in the racing season it's too late to try to build fitness; heavy training runs too high a chance of having to pull the plug because of fatigue. You've been making deposits in your form bank all year; now's the time to make some withdrawals. You have to accept the level of form you have and turn your attention not to getting faster or stronger, but simply maintaining fitness and feeling good on race day."
