how much training ...
Peter H. wrote: I wonder how many people could train 50-hour weeks at any intensity without developing some kind of muscular or skeletal problems after a few months. Not many I think, though maybe it's just an old man talking here. There seem to be quite a few who attempt, and give up for the reason above, even fairly leisurely cross-continent bike trips. With proper build-up and good positioning, as long as the intensity is kept for the most part low, I'll bet it would be a long time before too many problems. 50 hours can also be divided up into different sized chunks which give better time for recovery. Proper positioning is key. I've been on group rides where I see riders shaking their hands (numb I guess) or stretching their back or arms after only 20 minutes or so. This indicates they clearly have poor position on the bike. I recently completed a 19 hour bike ride with only a minimal amount of discomfort in a wrist I broke once. Position makes a huge difference. Skiing is worse because of weight-bearing, so I'm quite amazed at this guy Alex Nilsson, who crossed Canada (quite a bit farther than U.S.) last summer on rollerskis, averaging about 65 km/day for 95 days, at the age of approximately 70! And roller-skiing has vibration fatiuge you don't get on snow. That cross-Canada feat is amazing! Joseph http://www.fitstep.com/ski-site/index.html Best, Peter Jan Gerrit Klok wrote: ...... While at 130bpm (150W) I could easily do 10 hours (1.5kWh)of pedaling a day (not every day please), doing 5 of them at 300W would wear me out. Actually, I'd manage 2 maximum, I feeling good. 250W is more sustainable, but for 6 hours every day...please no! That's like being in the leading group of a TdF stage all day long! "WasGitchi" Make me wonder... what his heart rate was during those 50 hour |

Is this what it takes to get to the top?? wow, thats huge hours. Come on! No one has jumped on this one yet... Okay, it takes a brass set of ba11S WITH LOTS AND LOTS OF TESTOSTERONE!
