I like to have an easy week every one in four, just riding steady or have a few days completely off. Helps to keep you fresh through the season and allows you to focus on the three weeks on.

i personally dont believe in the burn out theory

What is burnt out? Like a firework or something? I think it's alot easier to feel "burned out" (mental) than to actually achieve physical "burn out".

you are talking about something different, racing & training that hard requires plenty of rest & sleep.....

if i stayed up till 2 am & had to be at work by 7 am i would be a wreck within a week.... its why i go to bed @ 9 pm Wink

the old saying burning the candle @ both ends does have a lot of truth innit for most(not all) but this isnt what i assume most cyclists would class as burn out?

What most people call burn out, i would describe as a lack of motivation.

Problem with us bikies is we race alot. Alot of us will race every weekend plus club time trials in the week. No other sportsmen compete as much. Marathon runners select a few marathons a year and triathletes will only do a handful of triathlons each year (maybe because it's so expensive Wink

). It's a culture thing; we race to get form.

It's no wonder some of us get knackered.
