As long as I'm home by 11, I'm happy to do the Wall. Is that do-able with a slight margin?

This ride with the wall is 5.5 hrs elapsed for a bunch so maybe not possible in your time constraints.
I was just being facetious anyhow :)

What confuses me is you've been riding solidly all year, wouldn't your base been well and truly taken care of by now ?

Looks like I'm out, unless I can get back by 10. Unicorn princess parties to attend, apparently.

Who got what book? I am a nerd who researches. I got friels training bible, Allen and coggans racing and training with power, time crunched cyclist, even that hippy maffetones big book of endurance training.

Philip, the volume and intensity of the riding I was doing since October was clearly unsustainable for me long term. It was fun but. Base is about training to train apparently. Building the aerobic base so that when you add intensity, it can be more intense and you get more benefits.

Look at Mark Lacey. 6-9 months ago we were around about as fast as him. He did she'd loads of base before adding any real intensity and he ended up flying.

Go slow to go fast.

It was the maffetones book I was referring too. He's the main fan of riding slowly everywhere.

Maffetone is big on riding slowly, everywhere, nearly all the time. He's also a chiropractor who calls himself a Doctor. Dr Phil. Big negative for me that. I normally take that as a strong sign of hocus pokery.

But Friel, Allen, Coggan etc are also all big on a base period with a shed load of zone 2 and minimum hard efforts. Friel and Dr Coggan have traditional academic qualifications relating to excersise physiology.
