I try to make club nights 2wice a week, the intervals and hill reps are something I wouldn't push myself hard enough on my own. Recently though a couple of things have got me thinking, 1st was going to the 40th club anniversary and seeing the fotos of earlier club members and noticing how thin they were , 2cond reading Lance Armstrongs book "tour de force".
 I'll just take 2wo quotes from this very informative read , [ you have to train. you have to be strong, of course. but if you're too heavy, it's all over.]
 & [ each kilo adds about 1.25 percent to a rider's time on a climb ]
    So basically think about your "power to weight" ratio ,  be honest with yourself ,will another 10 miles make a lot of difference or losing that bum or belly ?
I realize this may open a can of worms ,but forums are about debate?

but that depends on wot you want to achive, also it depends wot you are training for and your body shape etc...

lances book is a good read, a lot of common sense items in there as well
