As I know there are a few that have, or are racing them I thought I’d ask here.
Been doing a lot of TT’s this season with some success. They are mostly all around 10 miles ones and I have pretty much got the pacing sussed to suit me.
Now that my fitness is really good I have entered some 25m (40k) ones. Not really sure how I’m going to pace it so I’m after your experiences of them. 🙂
In 10 mile TT’s I’ll ease into it for the first couple of miles (around 4 minutes) and then settle into my TT pace at 180 bpm which is 7 bpm over my threshold. I’ll also attack hills and ease off on the downs for recovery. I know I won’t be able to sustain that for 25m ones though. Initial thoughts are to split into four sections of equal distance. Go out under threshould and slowly increase in each quarter with 3 and 4 building to 10 mile pace. How does that sound?
Will be trying it out in training this weekend.
