The following advice is aimed mostly at new Audax Riders, but it is just as pertinent for those of you who are returning to this ride.
Take it easy this week. Real easy.
Be rested for this coming weekend, with its 65 mile Tune Up Ride. Do consider this to be a training week, but the hard training will be on Sunday.
Here’s the basic plan:
- Monday: is likely a rest day
- Tuesday: Get a ride in, but keep the duration in the medium range and the intensity on the low side.
- Wednesday: Short easy ride
- Thursday: Medium duration and low to medium effort.
- Friday: Take a rest day!
- Saturday: A short ride at very low intensity
- Sunday: Use the 65 mile Tune Up as a training ride.
That will make this the last full training week before the actual Audax Ride. The next two weeks are for taper and rest. Further, using the Tune Up as a training ride also means you can use it for one last test of your full equipment set over a goodly distance.
Now go back and go over the various checklists I’ve posted and spend some time getting things lined up early in the week.
It’s getting so close now!!!!
