this is a bit of information on which i thought they would focus more. they have a great promotional opportunity to reach people like me: avid cyclists who ride a lot but don't really "train." i love riding but never really see gains...just maintaining where i am. maybe its my age. or diet. or a combination....
I feel like there is a plethora of information out there to guide you through a training program and even more about diet. This is not what this show is about.
@@wezsal sure, but one of the "selling points" of this series is that they give these absolute beginners a ramp test and then give them a custom designed plan. It'd be fascinating to know what kind of plan they give to total newbies.
I couldn't agree more - I wish there were more info / lessons / takeaways for people watching. I'd have been curious to also know their progress - they did a ramp test but we don't know the results or how much they improved in those 6 months.
Bummer for Rachel about the crashed, sending healing vibes! Goodluck to all your training and success on Leadville 100. You guys are doing amazing! Soooo much fun!
It would be interesting to see their training programs. How many hours per week are they riding, nutrition... It takes a lot of hard work to get to this point of doing a 50 and 100 mile race.
Help please. I'm a 66 yr old male who lost a leg due to a surgical mistake. I spent around 5 yrs in and out of a wheel chair. Last year I got back on a bike and have been pushing it as hard as I can. I did 3000 training miles last year. My goal from day one was to be able to do 50 and 100 mile gravel events. I don't have a clue as to what kind of rider metrics I will need to achieve to be ready. For instance, what power will I need to sustain for how long to get myself ready. I have no idea if I'm on the right track or nor.
I would absolutely love to attempt this BUT how do they manage the time and money? Are they wealthy and don't need to work? Not trying to be mean. Just don't understand.
Personally I believe it comes down to prioritizing the way you want to live your life. Dedicating your time off for these experiences, going out less, shopping smart etc. We do similar to live the life we're interested in living.
I don’t want to be a jerk but I can’t imagine any of them getting through Twin Lakes let alone the entire race. People train for years to just get a buckle and these people are trying to do it in a few months? This doesn’t make much sense.
