Interesting topic as I am looking to start my training for the TNGA this week – not possible to train for 4-6 days straight on the bike but I will be putting in some heavy days – 5-7 hours on the bike before I attempt it.

I usually hit Tue Wed Thur with 1-2 hours on the bike – road or Mtn with a varied plan for training, some intervals , some hill repeats and then save Saturday for some serious fire road work spending longer hours on the bike. Sunday is usually recovery ride. Just my 2 cents!

Depends on the race for me – I mean if I am prepping for a XC – I try to be comfortable with 2 times the distance and I take a good look at the course elevation profile to see where and when I will be putting in the most work. Pre- riding is a good thing as well though not always possible. Since we are not talking pro’s I will say this – the biggest thing in any race prep is to have FUN!
