BushGoblin Posted July 12, 2011 Share leading up to the Hill2Hill (mid sept) and the berg and bush (end oct), i would like to plan a week of riding in the first week of august, avg 50km a day for about 6 to 7 days to build up endurance and train on some tired legs. Good or bad idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camerons Posted July 12, 2011 Share leading up to the Hill2Hill (mid sept) and the berg and bush (end oct), i would like to plan a week of riding in the first week of august, avg 50km a day for about 6 to 7 days to build up endurance and train on some tired legs. Good or bad idea? Good idea, infact very good idea. I normally like to do a couple of high volume weeks a season and find they stand me in good stead. Make sure you do the traning at a steady (zone2) pace, not balls to the wall. Some words of advice... make sure you've got a decent enough base in you that you will be able to handle this big week and the sudden increase in volume. Also, even if you're tired, do not skip a day, rather get out there and just spin for an hour and keep the legs moving. If your legs are feeling tired and sore they'll feel even worse after a complete day off. Keep them moving. oh and make sure you eat enough to keep the energy levels up.
