Alrighty cycling friends and enemies a like I am starting to cross train and am looking if there is a program/App out there (similar to runna which is good) that can help me make a training plan for both activities on one plan (endurance road/gravel cycling).

The goal of all this is to train for pretty competitive 5k to 10k racing while still training for fast endurance riding on road and gravel all while not over training.

Unfortunately I cannot afford a coach which would be the best option I know but anything that can provide some idea of structure while not blowing up my life budget!

Any advice would be appreciated!

What's your preferred 1x12 ratio for an all road set up? (Denver/Boulder area)

I am in the Boulder area and face a lot of hills but being on the front range also a lot of mellow flats!

I have trained on very high gear ratios (think 60x16) through track cycling and feel comfortable with the big ratios.

Would a 52tx11-46t be a feasible 1x12 set up for all around fast flats but also somewhat challenging inclines?
