What training to do after your race?

[Help.Me.]

I have followed the Base Programs on Trainer Road and were quite impressed with the ease I did my outside rides over the weekends. I then did a TR generated training program for my event. I got a bit distracted in doing this because the event was postponed and life happens. When I did my "race" I was under prepared but survived just fine. The big question now is what kind of training must I do now?  Must i start with Base Training again and just build my Base? There are no races in the next 4 months that I am looking at.

Doing my outside longer rides over weekends. Spinning during the weekdays on IDT.

Ah, so what the rest of us call rides?

 

I thought you meant like gay pride parade on a bicycle.

hit a FTP test, compare it to previous test, do a short base build and even if there is no race doesnt mean you cant set a personal goal for say DEC /Jan always better to chase a goal and keep focused

 

in my professional opinion as a mechanic

What do want to do next, as in a goal/event?
That will then determine what you need to do.

If you want to train for something, then train; if you want to just ride, then just ride. No-one here can tell you what to do unless you yourself k ow.

Your cycling sounds too much like work. Just go ride (outside) and have fun

Start a new plan using Plan Builder in TR, for whenever your event is next year?

I've been following a low volume Trainer Road plan the last few months, ending with the Amashova.
After that, I am probably going to add another plan ending at next year's CTCT or possibly Double 90 in April.
Will just swop out some rides for outside group rides, especially in Dec.
