Wiesenhof 24hr training plan?

[buckshot]

I'm planning on solo'ing the Wiesenhof 24hr on 18th Jan and was hoping someone could send me a suitable training plan for the 8 wks I have to get some kind of form?

 

Thanks.

Ride alot, ride hard, learn to suffer. Ride at night. Practise easting while you're riding. Get comfy shorts.

[Slowbee]

the same apply to the desert dash Titus?

[TitusTi]

Well, except for the easting part (spelling mistake).

Can't see why it wouldn't work, same thing really, just less interaction from a backup crew.

[Dirty Twin]

Ti what about westing

I think the most important bit is learn to suffer. Fitness gets you half the way, the other half is in your head.

 

Otherwise, lots of long rides - some hard, some not so hard. The more riding you can get in the better. Find a decent support crew.

thanks. i've done one in the past and apart from the suffering, i was surprised how mental it was.

 

i'm just wondering how much high intensity i should be doing, apart from time on the bike...

Slightly OT: peanut butter and honey sandwiches carried me through the 24hrs of Moab

I plan on using the colonel training plan, depending on how it works for Dash.

 

Line a small bathroom / guest toilet with foil.

Set up indoor trainer with MTB

Switch on fan heater for simulating windy heat

Take a hand full of sand in throw down shorts

Take a hand full of sand in insert in to shoes

Ride for 6hrs

no amount of training can prepare you.

 

get a good pit crew, and eat and drink often
