Mr SingleTrack Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 So, I got no hits on the other thread so I decided to start a new one. I am in need of some cycling coaching to up my game before the 2014 joberg2c. With the other hubbers doing the cadence training etc I will be somewhat slow in comparison come joberg2c so I will need all the help I can get. I've done a couple of stage races and followed those generic training plans. they did work a treat but I think it is time to get a personalised plan that focus on my weaknesses etc. Can you recommend a coach in the JHB area? BTW, please go ahead and post all your joberg2c related training comments/content here. This thread does not have to be dedicated to my coach searching. Anything goes to get the ball rolling (other than my coach recommendation question), when do you plan to start your joberg2c training?

jcza Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Started after Sabie Experience - around 20 Dec. My advice would be to spend time in the saddle and do long rides. Yes - on a roadbike!

Mr SingleTrack Posted June 27, 2013 Author Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) I started in january....and I was very lazy. you did tooooo well for me to believe you. Did you then perform so well due to "natural skill" or do you blame jcza's Jagabombs? Edited June 27, 2013 by Mr SingleTrack

Yes - on a roadbike!I plan to do another double lapper at the 94.7 again this year so I should have the road bike tits in place
Mike Bike Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 im pretty sure we will be doing many long rides together in dec, just like this year..will be good grounding.. DIPSLICK, rouxtjie and Mr SingleTrack 3
jcza Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 I plan to do another double lapper at the 94.7 again this year so I should have the road bike tits in place Also look at Audax rides - 200km & 300km. I only did single lap at 947 but it is a fun ride compared to some J2C days. When you start doing 100km+ and 2000m climbing you appreciate the time spent in the saddle.

ChUkKy Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 You have a good base so dont go waste your time by doing hours upon hours of boring district road every ride you do, make your training rides good quality rides and do intervals.This is what I am going to do for next years J2C, I also would like to hunt a proper training plan
