Acerunner Posted October 20, 2015 Author Posted October 20, 2015 Yip, I would have liked to be @ 9 hours the past four weeks also!
V12man Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Long way to go till the Epic... I am trying not too burn out too early.... At least I have a bike I am planning to ride.... But if you had asked 2 weeks before J2C this year then the answer would have been different...

But if you had asked 2 weeks before J2C this year then the answer would have been different...I guess that is the trick it to be well prepared but not over train at the moment I am doing mostly Zone 2 and 3 work last two weeks have been 12 hours and 11 hours respectively.Really enjoying my riding at the moment

V12man Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Nice, what bike did u get?Swapped from a Scott Spark to a Spez Epic - Comp frame with Expert build kit - once I had the Brain figured out and set up the way I like it, it has been a very good ride. I did consider a PYGA Stage but really need a Small frame, and they only make mediums... I am EXACTLY on the edge of small/medium specs for the SPAZ - but after about 10 test rides went with a medium, and I am happy. This years epic is so short we are considering asking them if there will be additional fees to let us ride some of the days twice...... :ph34r:

Lukep Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Stop doing that low intensity stuff and find some hills to climb... and climb them a lot... That the plan from November got some nice events lined up in Nov then Dec is big miles and plenty climbs
eddy Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I have had my birthday, my 10th anniversary and my daughter's 21st over the last two weeks. I focussed on nutrition and recovery during this period.......
