What's your training week like prior to an endurance race? Just like to get an idea of what guys or gals do.
In an mtb event that includes significant single track, I would disagree pretty strongly with the "90%" genetics part.90% of how you do is your genetics; 5% is your "training". 4% is your mindset; .9% will be luck. The final 0.1% is what you do or don't do this week.
This is ridiculously wrong. Obviously never been in any high level competitive sports before.No worries, just ride the race. 90% of how you do is your genetics; 5% is your "training". 4% is your mindset; .9% will be luck. The final 0.1% is what you do or don't do this week.
I never do anything "special" prior to a race. Just do a "normal" week. Don't kill yourself in training but don't let yourself become stale. Make sure you fiddle with any bike issues well ahead of the race day.
On race day have fun! Let us know how it goes for you.
I don't think I've read a more inaccurate statement on MTBR, and that's saying something.No worries, just ride the race. 90% of how you do is your genetics; 5% is your "training". 4% is your mindset; .9% will be luck. The final 0.1% is what you do or don't do this week.
