off-season: intensity, or long-slow-miles?

Coaches love to argue this one... what's your optimum off-season INTENSITY level?

Since there's never an easy answer on this one I called my teammate Kevin Metcalfe last week to argue it.

Kevin and I have been teammates since 1995. When competitors ask how Kevin puts the hurt on everyone year after year they assume he's a genetic freak that can climb and time trial. Well, the truth is, he works very hard to improve every aspect of his cycling. This guy is more serious about his training than any three racers that I know. You guessed it, Kevin drills it in the off-season. How much is his secret!

What's your off-season intensity look like?
