What is the next step in my training?
In about a week or two, I will be doing my first century! I am just about ready for it. i will be doing an 80 mile ride solo tomorrow, and then I will begin to taper for the century
I am just curious, after I ride the century, should I increase my mileage from 200miles a week ( +/- 10 miles) to around 300miles a week for as long as I can because school is starting and I am not sure if I can ride that much, or maybe reduce the volume and go for intensity and working on speed? I thought increasing my mileage to work on endurance for the rest of the year and also during winter base mileage training would be the best best for me, since I have only been seriously training since this April, so best to get the base miles in THEN start working on my speed next April. Just kinda lost |
What are your goals?

Methinks you don't need a complicated "training" plan yet. Just ride as much as you can, preferably with people who are stronger riders than yourself.
