Lukep Posted October 25, 2015 Share My Epic partner recons we should do most of our training on the road for Oct and Nov, then move onto the MTB.I am happy to mix it up 3 rides a week on the MTB and 3 on the Road bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadenceblur Posted October 25, 2015 Share Yeah, I find I can control intensity far better on the road, particularly for focussed workouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acerunner Posted October 25, 2015 Share 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: very nice!

georgemc Posted October 26, 2015 Share First Epic 2016. Following the Daisyway Epic training programme. 14 hours last week(including Buffet Olives 42km) and 16 hours this coming week. So far so good. JollyJo82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banna Posted October 26, 2015 Share First Epic 2016. Following the Daisyway Epic training programme. 14 hours last week(including Buffet Olives 42km) and 16 hours this coming week. So far so good.Just be careful not to overdo it. It's still early days. You need to peak in March, not in January. georgemc, Toxic, Dominik and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janbiker Posted October 26, 2015 Share Wow, some of you guys are really training hard. I averaged 9 hours/week the last 8 weeks, exact as I did two years ago for my first (and only) Epic. But 14 to 16 hours now, how much will you ride in January/February? The most I rode for the 2014 CE was 20 hours, that was a training week in Mallorca 3 weeks before the start. And that was plenty good. Don't forget to mix it up and combine long hours in the saddle with interval/blocks and technique training. Monotony will kill you, mentally and fysically.

Lukep Posted October 26, 2015 Share 2.4 hoursSick as a dogEish getting sick is one of my biggest fears at the moment. I recently had a chest infection which took 10 days to clear dont want to go back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukep Posted October 27, 2015 Share Alarm failure this morning for my interval session.. . Time to set 2 alarms!!I tried doing my sessions in the evening but work always seems to drag on a little and steel some training time, I am not a morning person and I don't like waking up early but I must say that training in the morning is a winner. You go to work knowing that you have done your training and that you have taken another step towards your goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
