I really like @HLaB idea of using a Masters plan for your specific case scenario @rawzy69!
If you want to increase your FTP and incorporate your group rides, which I think are pretty substantial efforts, a LV Masters Plan allows enough recovery to add in unstructured rides as you see fit, without compromising the structured interval training from the plan that will help increase your FTP.
Based on what you have I would probably do something like this, but it depends what days your group rides are:
-
Sunday 80-100km Group Ride
-
Monday Off
-
Tuesday TR Workout (Interval)
-
Wednesday Replace Endurance TR Workout with Chill Group Ride (Zone 1)
-
Thursday TR Workout (Interval)
-
Friday 50km Gravel Riding
-
Saturday Off
Note: you may need to compromise and cancel one of your group rides depending on how your fatigue levels lay out.
As @HLaB mentioned, we did just launch Red Light Green Light (still in Beta) which can be a very useful tool to see how your group rides impact subsequent training and guide the necessary changes to your training plan so it doesn’t become unproductive.
RLGL will track your training fatigue, show you when you’re overdoing it, and offer smart adaptations to your training plan to prevent long-term fatigue. More info on this thread:
And yes! @Will_Peters mentions a good point. We have a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee if you don’t like us
