Some kind of performance enhancing drugs?? It might be a little late?
Oh I know that – I was just wondering if there was anything that might help. Now these drugs you talk of…
its exactly 2 weeks today.
1 week hard, 2 days nothing, 2 days easy, 3 days nothing
OK that sounds like the sort of feedback I was hoping for. So 1 week hard – bearing in mind I won’t have a real bike should that be cardio hard or ‘muscle’ hard? Based on others saying hill reps – I’m thinking its more about muscle than heart/lungs. I’m assuming there will be a bike in the hotel gym, but any other suggestions to break up the boredom?
Write it off as a ‘practice / training race’
Oh its only ever for pleasure – I don’t race, I’m neither good enough nor do I take life that seriously. I’m just looking for vaguely enjoying it – oh and not being dropped by the missus!
If the event is long (for you) then fitting in a couple of long rides asap might help?
its not that long based on previous stupidity – but it is the longest I’ve ridden this year.
hill climbing is a measure of power to weight.
you’ll have a better chance of dropping weight than gaining power in two weeks. Which part of me were you planning to amputate that would result in major weight saving without affecting power?
