One of my plans for 2011 is do to some more sportives, but finish them in a better time this year. Given that Mrs Kenny is unlikely to sanction an increase in my overall training time, I’ve decided that quality training rather than quantity training is the way ahead.
To that end I’m thinking of getting a heart rate monitor. I pretty much know the one I want, but what I am wondering is, what training plans (books, websites etc) do people use to get the most out of them? I’m looking to do the Fred Whitton again (but with less walking hopefully), so would like something like a 12 week sportive plan with lots of hill work.
Or do folk just tend to make their own plans up?
I know this is more of a roadie question, but thought I’d try on here first as it’s my main first stopping place for bike advice. I know there is tons of advice out there, but would like something concise, straightforward and effective.
