Thanks!

Cheers! Hopefully I'll see you in the upcoming FRR series? You did quite a few last year right?

@@ZwiftAnalysisNetwork hopefully! Although what does FRR stand for? I’ll check it out to see.

Flame Rouge Racing, they have some pretty good series (first one starts this weekend!). Is your Zwift handle BT Doom? I think you were on my ZP nemesis list for a while :)

A normal week for me is racing about 3 or 4 times. Although they vary in length and degree of difficulty. I actually have my ZP profile link included within the details if you want a quick peek :). I try and mix in varying types of races, maybe 1 climbing stage, 1 Zwift Racing League, a TTT, and then a chase race. That is a typical week, but i also compete in some series that mimic grand tours, so i have probably 10 weeks a year im doing 6 really tough races per week. Probably is a good idea to air on the side of caution if you are feeling the effects of overtraining, but if you want to increase the amount of races you do. you could always try a shorter one as your 3rd one every other week or so. Then see how your body feels. It honestly took me a long time to get my body used to the amount of races i do per week, so its ok if it doesnt happen over night!

Thanks, mate! glad to hear that switching to a more structured plan helped you improve. Constantly racing is just works well for me, but it's understandable everyone will have a method that works best for them. It's interesting to hear that doing zone 5 work pushed you beyond your limit, one of the reasons racing works well for me is, I can see common opponents at my level and think to myself if they are still in the group i have to keep pushing to hang on 😀. Great on you though for trying something new if another way wasn't working!

@@ZwiftAnalysisNetwork your probably a much stronger rider than I am, ajthough give it time :). But like you said, whatever works best for you, do that

Haha yup maybe in just a short few months! I'm riding pretty strong now, but only a couple years ago I wasn't that strong, and I never know how long it will last for so just trying to enjoy the A cat while I can 😁

Yea cheaters definitely have ruined a couple of my races as well (a couple clips throughout my vids have some now banned racers in them, not going to name any names). I wish they could do something more at least on the blatantly obvious ones. Thanks! im trying to add more volume to my riding schedule. hoping to be able to take the next step up in the near future 😀
