Brogue Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 You don't need to weigh 70 kg for a sub 3:30 Does it help?? YES IS IT A MUST .?Not even close I agree BIG BOY, just peddle faasta
DPG Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) you have two options - grow about 20 cms, or lose about 15 kg :-) No, without kidding - anything is possible, my first Argus was six hours, on Sunday I finished sub 3:30. All I did was get up during the week, cycle up Table Mountain and Signal Hill, 28 kms, 700 m, and did that 3-4 times a week. Didn't do any long training rides before the Argus, and shaved off another 20 minutes this year. You can do it! Shall we start a sub 3 training group?sub 3 seems a stretch! Wasnt sure if I could even get to 3hr30. Think I may set that as my goal! Edited March 13, 2014 by DPG
eddy Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Vetseun, I see you like this comment, a 3:20 weighing a 100 kgs is fairly easy, I did it about 2 years ago, but going 3:15 and faster will require a serious commitment to training and weight management I did a 3:03 at age 45 and at 97 kg on between 6 and 9 quality hours a week some years ago. 3:15 is very doable if you have the genetic makeup, motivation and willingness to endure pain during training and racing..
