L Gerbs Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 It is just over a month before I will be taking on my first MTB marathon as well as my first bike race. What training should I be focusing on these last 5 weeks. I do not know what to expect and need some assistance.
Ozzie NL Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Just do a couple of chilled rides and enjoy the race. Assuming the race is in GP, I would recommend you bring some warm stuff. Layers worg well so you can peel off as the day heats up
L Gerbs Posted July 18, 2015 Author Posted July 18, 2015 Nissan trail seeker in Pta East. My gear is sorted, thanks. Pointers on the last bit of training will be of great help. I can do 50km @ 18 km/h quite comfortably. What do I need to focus on these last 5 weeks?
RyanD Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Intervals for the next four coupled with distance in zone 2. In the last two weeks slow the distance but not the intervals. Don't neglect the technical practice. Get the bike serviced.
shaper Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 For your first race don't get over eager and burn out when racing, just enjoy the ride and vibe and aim to finish! As for training do intervals in between your long rides
Vetseun Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 70km is a walk in the park Bud. Go in there with one mind set. HAVE FUN!!. Enjoy
L Gerbs Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 Thanks for the advice guys. Interval training it will be then.
