TRAINING:

500k a week on the bike, 16 or 17 hours strength and endurance focus, big week 15km no less than 12km, hover around 80km a week but have a couple of weeks over 100km. Early in the season I'm laying a base for the season so it tends to be 30 hours a week in a big week, i won't hit those numbers again until a specific build up in august. Gym I do a bit of core strength rather than lifting, three times a week during the middle part of the year.
