Quick question on race week intensity…I know the Friel and others talk about cutting back volume but keeping intensity high in a peak or race week. My question is on the intensity. How high are we talking? For example, if the target event is a 4 hour endurance MTB race, do I want to match this level of intensity in the peak or race week, or take intensity even higher – say that of a shorter XC race? If I remember correctly, he (or maybe someone else that I read) talks about specificity in this regard and therefore I would match my target event...but I wanted to see what others thought. Thanks!
