Listen "#43 - Q&A | Fasted Training, Rest days, and Criterium Racing"
Episode Synopsis
Your questions answered! Today I answer the questions submitted by social media followers, including:
a) What advice can you give about fasted rides? Length and intensity?
b) What is the importance of scheduling in full rest days?
c) Weekend back to back races, do I taper training for 2 weeks?
d) As a crit racer, what are the key power numbers to focus on improving? I.e. sprint/ftp/map/vo2?
e) What’s your views on training for a 10 to 12 hour mtb race? Building up to 6 to 7 hour training rides back to back on Sat & Sun, or building up to one 12 hour training ride on the Saturday and having the Sunday off?
f) Dalby red route – Any strategy for getting a sub 2 hr time on a XC full suspension bike?
g) I read somewhere about shift from the 80/20 rule to slightly higher intensity, thoughts?
h) On days involving gym and riding, which session should come first in different scenarios?
i) What’s your opinions on E-Mtb’s
j) Protein vs carbs for recovery
