If you are one of the many people who have been wondering how Macky prepared for Single-Speed MTB National Championships, wonder no longer!
We had so many questions about what Macky's training looked like, we decided to put together a video discussing his training leading up to the event.

Its More fun than should be legal! Try fixed gear offroad for even more fun. Pedaling always is a wicked workout. You think the climbs are hard, then the descents can be even harder. A very efficient exercise in pain. But it's addicting!

Happy to find his neat video, although powermeters are rampant on road bikes nowadays, finding anything SSXC related is impossible. Looking to see what other string SS'ers are doing. Confused on why your coach had you do such easy intervals (2min @320-350w would have been a walk in the park) then the execution was ...interesting... I'm a steady state rider and that's what I enjoy training, maybe I should spice things up 🙃

Some serious power being produced here! Impressive stuff. Do you mind me asking how much you weigh? Trying to figure out if I'd be even half competitive in SS events... Thanks for making great content and sharing your training! Edit: So Strava Stalking of your power chart says 75kg. Wow, much less than I expected 😅👍
@sydandmacky
@sydandmacky 2 года назад
Yeah, 75kg is about right. It's important to remember though that power to weight ratio isn't the only (or even the most important) thing for racing mountain bikes. So much of the results come down to bike handling and mental game. So I'd say if you wanna race SS, you should!
@sapinva
@sapinva 3 года назад
Don't know why you resist the XC, you are a natural at it. Just cause you can do ok at enduro doesn't mean much, you'd probably do ok at almost anything by virtue of exceptional fitness and athletic talent, except maybe free ride or track.
@CraigMartinNB
@CraigMartinNB 3 года назад
Very cool to get this insight into how you trained. Noticed you were WAY over target power for the first few intervals. I know it's tougher to hit a target on a climb like that, and on a single speed, but do you normally do that on your interval workouts, and how does your coach feel about that? ;)
@sydandmacky
@sydandmacky 3 года назад
Nah, usually I'm much closer to the prescribed numbers. As you said, between the SS and the hill I didn't have much of a choice. Next time I'm choosing an easier hill! But coach Mike was fairly pleased 😄
@CraigMartinNB
@CraigMartinNB 3 года назад
@@sydandmacky Just curious - some coaches wouldn't like going over by that much, especially that close to a goal race. For me, that's long enough in advance to go pretty hard. (Mike sounds awesome)

@kennethelliot8164
@kennethelliot8164 3 года назад
For a pure ss rider how important do you feel a power meter is? As you say. The hill determines your minimum power level requirement so it's hard to do precise power intervals. I mainly do time and heart rate, but have always been interested in ss with a pm
@sydandmacky
@sydandmacky 3 года назад
Having a power meter is awesome, especially in a SS because the power and cadence vary so much. Plus, if you do have other bikes that have the same cranks, if you get a Stages meter, you can just swap the left crank arm and have power on all your bikes!

I've actually gone even lighter and now run a 30x20t. I've never lost a race on it though, so it's working for me. I'd rather be able to go fast up the climbs and make up time there than try to make up time pedaling on the descents and or flats which are overall much less of the time in a race (at least the races I've been doing).
