I can understand doing one long, hard ride per week, in the range of 60-100 miles. Throw in one more hard interval day of 40 miles and 2 more riding rest/slow days of 20-30 miles and what else is there time to do, for those of us that don't get paid to ride?
At the high end, that's 200 quality miles per week, on the low end its 140 miles. Here you get two hard, interval or climbing type days and two slow, mileage days in. Throw in a few runs and swims for Archie and one or two rounds of golf for RCV and you've got to be semi-retired to pull this off.
I can't think of a single week, ever, that I've been able to put in this type of mileage, let alone averaged over 3 months. Then again, I'm no coach and I'm slow as molasses to boot, so who am I to talk.
Sorry to try to interject a little reason into the discussion. Carry on.
