Embarking on an endurance adventure requires careful training and preparation. Tailoring your training to the length and duration of your ride is essential for success.

When crafting your training plan, prioritise workouts that yield maximum benefits with minimal strain on your body. Avoid excessive all-out interval sessions, which can lead to fatigue and overtraining when building endurance. Strategise your training to optimise gains in strength and endurance while safeguarding against exhaustion and overexertion. Working with a coach can help you manage your training.

Before committing to a training plan, take the time to assess your work, family, and life commitments. This will help you plan a realistic amount of training hours that align with your overall priorities. Avoid overcommitting and prioritise sleep, healthy eating, and training to ensure a balanced lifestyle, especially if you're increasing your riding hours.

Minimal, simple training, can have the most to offer when it’s done correctly. Although you increase your hours for endurance training, you shouldn’t be doing more than one or two interval sessions a week at most. Low torque intervals help build strength.
