kevin Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Another question for you guys... As I have just started riding after a years rest I am getting back into it... Races: I have done 3 this year: ride for site: 60Km Randforntein: 67 Km Springbok: 80 question is should I be concentrating on the shorter rides under 80 km or should I be pushing for more mileage on the bike and go for the longer and keep imporving at the longer mileage...?
AndreZA Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 longer. Most "good" races are in the region of 90-110km. .
Trubie Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 KevinYou need to determine what you wanna achieve.Do you have a goal? Perhaps a 3:00 for 94.7 or something.Once you have determined that, the hubbers will be more than helpful in their advice. You need to adapt your training to that goal. Ie if you wanna ride 100k's, gotta train for it, and that will give you the answer 40/80?
kevin Posted March 24, 2009 Author Posted March 24, 2009 Great thanx for the feedback... Goals...ummm my last 94.7 was a smidgen under 4 hours so yea if I could achieve a 3h30 for the 94.7 that would be great!
callmeK Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 Start out with long slower rides and as you get closer to your target event focus more short and fast.
