goofs Posted September 9, 2009 Share I read somewhere most of the pro's use road bikes to put in distance training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTRacing Posted September 9, 2009 Share Sadle time, 5 - 6 hours in one ride. then build up to a 7 hour ride a week before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pom1 Posted September 9, 2009 Share if your targetting this spefic race and you got about 7 weeks, I suggest log-on to the Polar website and get a 6 week TP and stick to it. 7 hour ride the week before? I would rather think this week should be spent increasing your V02 max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
predictor Posted September 9, 2009 Share I am getting towards the end of a 12 week program ending in the Crater Cruise. This week = Mon Rest, Tuesday 5 km run, Wed 5km intervals run, Thurs 5 km intervals, Friday 10km easy run, Sat rest and Rugby, Sunday 2 x Suikerbos on MTB on the tar = 6 hours ride with 2.5km climb. This is actual time spent in this week. Remember to taper for at least 2 weeks. Just a thought. O yes do your weekend rides in the sun and heat to get used to it.
