Pros winter training

Anyone got any training schedules for the 'off' season.
Quite interested if volume has changed from the old skool days of miles and miles. and miles and miles and miles.
I heard Olano used to do 5 hours on the road and then 2 1/2 hours on a turbo :shock:

Simoni used to do nothing until January. Then 3 hour rides on the sunny side of the valley he lived in.

Now it’s going to be total rest. I’m not going to be able to do some gym work and boxing as I had planned but that’s no drama – it’s a superficial injury all the same,” he said. “I’ll stay at home and I’ll start training again on the road after the Dijon cyclo-cross [November 23], like I do every year.”
Much as I'm fond of the Irish man, perhaps non-Tour winning Kelly should check out how ripped Tour-winning Lemond was on the Champs Élysées in 1989.
Note: 'start of the season' (not last day of a GT) but nice pic
I thought Lemond did shedloads of cross country skiing through the winter - hence he bulked his upper body up ? Didnt he live somewhere snowy in the States ?
Lemond took 40-odd pellets in the hunting accident. My mate once memorably asked a group at our club how his fellow hunters managed to shoot him that many times before realising he was not a turkey, failing to grasp it was a single shotgun blast. How we laughed.
That's actually quite a sad picture. 'Killy's' white cap used to be visible from Nairobi. Used to see it regularly on the way to school on a clear day. Now there's hardly any snow left.
If you follow Nikki and Laurens on strava you ll see they re putting in rides that take in most of the Netherlands at the moment...
Closely followed by some fool commenting on how flat it is EVERY TIME!
