Subject: RE: consolidate workouts or spread out? Training plans are typically devised to build to a longer distance by building a base first.
They are broken down in order to complete the workouts comfortably to start, focus on a specific task (e.g. cadence ) and to make sure athletes don't do too much too soon. It is also important to be sure that you are not too tired or worn out to do the next days work outs, like swim or run.
Not sure what your biking background is, but be careful of doing too much too soon.
I think for experienced athletes, like max, the "going with how you feel" works, however, for newbies, I would have to disagree. By the last 1/3 of the training plan you don't want to be wishing you had some of those shorter workouts back.
Just my $.02.....
