In my experience, the only route to consistent, long-term, improvement in endurance sports is to slowly, and progressively, increase the training volume.

I'll be doing FATmax test soon. Realistically I can average around 9-10 hours per week on the bike throughout the year. Mid 30's Cycling 4 years, 3.5 w/kg want to get to 4

1/ Much lower average intensity. 🚶
2/ Much slower ramp of training volume. 🐢
3/ Recovery on demand (i.e. listening to their body). 🛌
