What for?

For crits looks good, for road races you may struggle

If i tried to do 3 hrs at 140+ I would die. I can do 180k in 6h25 though so not sure what that says

 

[Rob3rt]

Without knowing what the HR values are relative to your max HR, it is all meaningless.

 

[screenman]

Too hard, not enough rest. You will not keep it up for long. I am assuming that your max is in the 190 area.

That's good because all I'm doing at the mo is crits, but next year would like to try a road race. What would be the difference or changes required for road race training.

Sorry it should be less than 140 not more than

I'm looking at a block of 4 week with the 5th a recovery week. Dropping the duration by more than half. Then repeat.

What is your MHR?

 

[Peter Armstrong]

188

Ultimately, that is one week's worth of a training plan, not a proper training plan, if you plan on doing that week after week, well....

 

[Peter Armstrong]

Carry on!

Not enough rest. I would lose a day somewhere and have it off the bike or make it a 3 week cycle with the 4th recovery.

Though what I would really do is not have a recovery week and manage fatigue weekly. The 4 on1 off etc is very Pro and you haven't hit any stops to require such overload.
Take it steady because that is MUCH more riding than you are currently doing.

Its nice to have 3-4 weeks focused training BUT that^ is not focused on anything in particular at all
