[bonkers]

I want to do the epic next year, am a novice, with very moderate fitness level. i want to be a competetive rider. Whats the recomended training program? There are so many, i need advice please!

Ride as much multi stage mtb races as you can next year and do epic in 2016. You will be better prepared than trying to do it as a novice.

over at www.sciencetosport.com they have a number of training programs pre-built for beginner, intermediate and advanced for a number of events and the Epic is one of them.

 

They also have 1 on 1 personal coaching should you choose that option rather. The 4 coaches, Jeroen, John, Ben and Mike are incredible and leaders in SA when you look at their athlete list from Pro to novice and the results they get.

 

I am biased here yes, but everyone is raving about them.

If you want to be competitive you need to get yourself to the sport science institute in Newlands, get your VO2 numbers, PPO, etc... then you will know if you are dreaming or not, if you have the genes then you get yourself a good coach and start the long hard slog. It takes years of conditioning to reach competitive level, don't count on making the front next year.
