dillon Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 So looking at the Isuzu competition https://www.bikehub.co.za/features/_/articles/competitions/enter-now-isuzu-trucks-pe-plett-entries-up-for-grabs-r2416 Clearly I don't train enough, week one is easy, but week 2 will be a tough week for my level of training. (getting 3000m of climbing in). Never mind week 4 with 12 hours of riding in a week For you guys doing a 4hr Clarens marathon, is the isuzu challenge in the ball park for your weekly training effort?
Cheese Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 The training does not like to much , I entered but only saw later that you need to achieve certain badges in certain weeks, For instance in week 2 I am away from home and if it is the same as where I was two weeks ago it will be difficult as I only got 150 m ascend in 70 km of riding. Will just carry on with my training and see where it gets me. I normally achieve around 3000m of training in a week,Will see if I get all the badges. Will definitely not mind a free entry.
dillon Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 i only get 1000m climbing, 5hrs riding and 90kms a week........
Saag Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 I managed 4h at Clarens (just) and now I see why so many people still beat me with 1h. I clearly need to train A LOT MORE! This is great motivation though, will love to get a free entry.
NotSoBigBen Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Quite a bit but nowhere near 3000m in 1 week ...... ever .......
HOEKVLAG Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Most of my training done on the trainer, but I would have to go a loooong way to get 3000m of climbing around Springs...
PeterF Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Most of my training done on the trainer, but I would have to go a loooong way to get 3000m of climbing around Springs...Maybe if you raise the front wheel a bit
SwissVan Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Most of my training done on the trainer, but I would have to go a loooong way to get 3000m of climbing around Springs... I think the challenge is set up to encourage folks to ride certain mtb events with a lot of climbing in them. Thats a lot of climbing for people to achieve just training.I checked my last 2 weeks riding when I saw this and I'm only on 1680 m...and I live in Switzerland.... ok I also only rode 4 times in 2 weeks but I have an excuse i also run, swim and play golf
sias Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Haha, blykbaar het ek ook aangesluit! Nou sal ek maar strava moet aflaai op my mobiele telefoon!
dillon Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 well i am going to see if I can up the training to complete it without getting a divorce, going to be an interesting month! I managed a 4H48 at Clarens with 90kms and 1000m climbing a week I wonder what the effect will be on my time at The Monster
Cheese Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Quite a bit but nowhere near 3000m in 1 week ...... ever .......the Delta dash should have helped your acsend for last week though.
Saag Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 I am hoping I misunderstood the: 150km badge?Do you need to do 3 separate rides of more than 150km in each one of those 3 rides?
I FLY Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Most of my training done on the trainer, but I would have to go a loooong way to get 3000m of climbing around Springs...Even further when one lives in Witbank
cat-i Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 I am hoping I misunderstood the: 150km badge?Do you need to do 3 separate rides of more than 150km in each one of those 3 rides? I think it's three rides with a combined total of (at least) 150 km ... so 60, 60, 30 should do it. It's going to be a bit of a challenge working this into the commuting ... 'cos even if I can do 50 per day, it's not 50 per ride ...
Odinson Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 I simply don't have enough time in my life to even attempt this.
