dfm1 Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Its 9 days to go before the start of the Epic and you should be putting in the last big miles this week. If you are doing the Epic how is your training effected by the current weather in Gauteng, that is if you are in Gauteng.
Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 if you doing the Epic, you should not put big miles in this week.
Spinnekop Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Why? What's wrong with the weather?? You don't get sun burnNo excessive sweatingYour bike gets a wash every day What more could you want??????
Guest colonel Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 What more could you want?????? Kendra Wilkinson rubbing my legs after training will do nicely.....
Velouria Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Its 9 days to go before the start of the Epic and you should be putting in the last big miles this week.[/quote']I did my last big miles three weeks ago (if you don't count the 2 laps of the Argus). A little late now to be doing big miles...
jacostrydom Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 The weather sucks. Sunday was the last chance to do seriuos training. Now it is short high intensity sessions just to keep reminding the body about VO2 Max, LT, FTP, and all that stuff... This is tapertime!
dfm1 Posted March 18, 2008 Author Posted March 18, 2008 if you doing the Epic' date=' you should not put big miles in this week. [/quote'] Why not, been racing all year doing high intensity riding, finally getting to the LSD rides

GreyOwl Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Your a mountain bike rider Dagnabbit?!?! Your meant to enjoy the 'elements?!' I thought it was just us roadies who complained about the weather?!
TitusTi Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 1 week before the Epic and you want to get in 2 * 5 hour rides? You are joking right? Not even I'm dumb enough to do that, and I'm pretty dumb!
swift Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Big miles this week... you serious?? This close, for this sorta race, these last few days are about resting enough (NB - sleep) and keeping healthy (trying not to get sick). Most guys go to hard to close, and get there looking like they have done an epic already... That's IMO though
mrmed Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 No big miles for me! I did my last big ride on Saturday. Will do some 1.5 hour LT sessions when the weather clears.

Not even I'm dumb enough to do that' date=' and I'm pretty dumb![/quote'] Don't agree, during the road racing I train at my hardest the week of the races, the week of the Argus I still put in 12hrs of traing prior to the race, and on race day my legs where sweet. During stage races the first 3 days are hard, then it only gets better. For the Sabie experience I did a hard week the week the race started, and boy, what an easy race, no suffering ,my chain never saw the granny gear. Soi dont agree with your idea of tappering down, I will do that from Sunday onwards.
dfm1 Posted March 18, 2008 Author Posted March 18, 2008 Resting are for people who are lazy ! Damm right, lazy people and goverment officials
