Sub 6 DC

[Pure Savage]

Our team did a 6:24 last year on the doible century with a moderate amount of training and no ride by the team longer than 130km.

 

My question is to break the sub 6, we now have 6 months, should we aim to do longer rides or more intense short rides.

 

Any other tips for those that have done it before.

 

Thanks in advance.

What works for me is riding back to home after a race. This gives you a very intense long ride, you need to have a few of those if you want to race DC.

Short rides are not much use, unless they are quality workouts with some hill repeats (or a hilly course) hammer the hills or do interval sessions, like a 4 or 5 x 20 mins at 90%.

We normally have a rather hilly course, will try the intervals ad cycling back from races.

 

Thanks for inputs
