Query about Time Crunched book...

[nos]

Hello, I have the book named: Time-Crunched Cyclist, 2nd.

In the last week of each plan is where the peak of form is reached. My question is: the peak of form just lasts that weekend of the competition or can be lengthen something else?.


Kind Regards.

You could probably maintain the peak form for longer if you weren't 'time crunched' but that's not really what the book is about. If you are time-crunched (can I just say I hate that expression), then the book provides you with periodisation training to enable you to hit form for certain target events. If you want to put the hours in, in order to maintain that kind of form over the longer term, then you clearly aren't time crunched and are therefore reading the wrong training manual.

BITD we used Fartlek type training

By training harder and more often, but like I said, that kind of negates the purpose of the book.
