how many miles a week should i train for competition and increase speed in cycling?

with average speeds of 31km/h and ride 5 miles a day i feel i need much more on that…..what is the best training program…

Answer
5 mile rides are very, very short rides. While many books have been written on training, basically you need much more mileage. Try 5 days a week with 2 rest days, like ride 2, rest 1, ride 3, rest 1…

Make at least one ride long and lower intensity. Say 2 to 3 hours. All your rides should top and hour. While you could train a endlessly, try 100 miles a week work up to it if needed. Club racers tend to be around the 130-150 per week mark. This is a ball park. You will need to determine what you have time for and how important racing is to you.

I highly suggest reading up on training taking all advice in context. Obviously, reading a pro’s training routine wouldn’t work… after all they are pros and dedicate their time and life to cycling.

I club raced road and MTB on and off over the years and rarely had the time for more than 100 or so miles a week. Consequently, I wasn’t a consistent winner either.

There is much more to training than this but that’s what books are for.
