Sani2c 2014 Training - LATE start

[scorerb]

This is a request to all experianced MTBers

I am well behind on my Sani2c training, what can i do to maximize my fitness/hill climbing ability before the 14th of May?

 

I work Monday-Friday 7am-6pm.

I have an indoor trainer and gym memebership

I have done the two previous Sani2c, but not much riding after that.

 

Please give me some idea how I can rescue my Sani2c

Hi there,

 

I would google Joe Friel and look on his blog for information regarding "crash training", there will probably be some info to help a little.

You've done 2 already so there's half the battle won.

 

Now just make sure you don't over train and go in with an injury!!!! Slow and steady.

I Did whine2wails on 4 weeks of training last year. Made it, Suffered like hell.

 

Can be done. Like Greg said. Dont overtrain now.

[Shangri la]

Suikerbos Reserve one day each weekend.

Long slower ride on the other day.

Get up Tues; Wed; Thurs at 4am for a 90min hard ride.

 

Sorted !!

Last year my partner and I went on ONE training ride (over 25km) before we went on our Sani trip and that was on the 1st May

 

It is not too late yet.

Thank you all, will put all the ideas together and get it done.....

what exactly is "behind". I am on number 3 and have done considerably less training this year compared to previous years. on average we have been putting in between 60 and 120km per week and between 1000 - 2500m climbing...I am relatively happy with that

Hit Breedts Nek every weekend and you should be OK.

She did..... used flat pedals too... most of the way.

 

Day 2 is not really scary, couple of long climbs that if you have to you could walk (not that I plan to walk ) = probably about the same as riding about 3 times up Northcliff - not in the Rusty Gate league at all.

I have maybe put in 60km a week over the last 5, with 1000-1250m climbing, with hi intensity , I just feel like i am no were compaired with last year.

But i think 4 weeks is enough to get me to at least fitness level for a comfortable finish.

Just many early mornings and late nights......
