Ultimately, I must ask, out of the given number of sessions, which sessions seem the most logical, given the limited training that I am subject to. Therefore, which ones can I forgo?

If you are short on time, I would not recommend skipping the important meetings as outlined by John Wakefield since these key sessions Leslie assist in building your cycling fitness. Key sessions are often used in exercises which is the primary focus of the prescribed session in order to elicit responses that support the objective. You might want to eliminate the day seven recovery ride, as well as the day four rest day if you prefer that. You, on the other hand, should ensure that you do not engage in anything more strenuous than a rest day or easy day at least a day before your key sessions.

Morale of the story: 2 hard interval sessions per week, spaced out so you’re fresh for the hard work. If you have the time, make sure you get a few endurance/recovery rides in to continue building your aerobic engine.

Don’t miss key sessions
Go easy on easy days

Gotcha!

Very nice and helpful. I’m someone due to limit od time able to ride one 1.5h and one long weekend ride. Each time I get on the bike I need to maximize the effort I spent on it for max gains.

For a triathlete, with 3 trainings on the bike per week, should I do 2 key sessions + endurance ride or 1 key session, 1 recovery and 1 endurance (with maybe some few intervals in it)?
