[Closed] How do the top riders train for 24 hours solo ?

MidlandTrailquestsGraham · 2011-08-11T08:42:18Z

I've been asked about my training on my training log, and then asked about how the top riders train. I've looked at a few of their blogs, [urlDean[/url], [urlPage[/url], [urlNewton Mason[/url], [urlJudge[/url] and [urlFrogbrook[/url] and none of them seem to give much away. My own training is little more than extending my commute home whenever I can. I don't do any proper long rides on my own, rarely more than three hours. I sometimes go on forum rides where I'll ride hard to the meet up, cruise round with everyone else, then ride hard home. All together, I'm doing about 700km a month, commuting, training and racing. On a good day, I can get a top quarter finish. I know there's a few proper fast guys on here, so how do you train ? Have you got a proper programme planned out in advance ? Have you got a coach ? Do you monitor HR & V02 and use that data ? Or, do you just ride as far and as fast as you can, whenever you can fit it in around the rest of your life ?
