what i am struggling with in terms of planning my volume is the idea that you really cant increase your volume by much more than 15-20% per year without risk of burnout... my comute volume in previous years was in the ballpark of 600 hours a year, so this year i'm planning for 700 of much more structured training, which puts my light recovery weeks at about 10h a week, which is just a hair more than my commute, on a slow week. 10h is a pretty respectable low volume week for a cat4, but it really should probably ideally be distributed a little differently than: 1 hours twice a day M-F... so i'm really kinda unsure whats the best way to structure my rest weeks given the built in commute.
