- I thought it would be a cool idea to share how I’m preparing and training for the upcoming EWS / Enduro World Series Season.
In this video, you’re going to see what a normal week-day looks like, including, a MTB specific workout in the gym and a training ride out on the trails with fellow racer Lewis Buchanan!
Make sure you tune in if you’re new to MTB enduro racing or you’re a seasoned racer - hopefully you’ll find some valuable tricks and tips to help you prepare, ride, and race even better in your upcoming races!
COMMENT BELOW: What tips would you recommend for training for a mountain bike enduro race??? - Zábava
dude video is sweet. fun to ride with ya.
Likewise! Have to get on more of these!
Cracking vid - good luck for the season! Looking forward to the vids
Yep me too!
Amazin video Alex ... great to see the trails we ride, ridden so fast ... brilliant ...
Glad you enjoyed the video Andrew - got some more videos coming just like this, seeing though this one had a great response!
Sick! Got so pumped to go ride after watching this.
Stoked! That's what it's all about, right? Getting out on the trails and riding your bike :)
Great video. I’m committed to doing a few this year and really trying to figure out how to get as fit as possible in the right way.
Excellent little insight, I think more of this would appreciated and like by a lot of people!! We all want to know what sets us normal guys apart from you MTB gods haha both of you looked solid in the end! Keep up the great work! 🏔🚴♀️🏴🚴♀️🏔
Glad you enjoyed the video :) There isn't much in terms of setup difference I don't think - I believe it comes down more to feeling comfortable on your bike - and knowing where your body is on the bike in space and time. If you can do that, you'll fly!
Obviously easier said than done as they say - takes practice, training, hard work, dedication....all that boring jazz!
Brilliant Vid just ridden the Golfie for the first time couple of weeks ago and did the push to the top in the Snow. Did Glentress on sunday just gone, working on the Missus to move up to Inners now!
Awesome Richard! There's SO much riding in the Tweed Valley, it's pretty crazy. I don't think I've even scratched the surface yet.
Great vid. Love the drone shots. You ride some scary stuff.
Glad you enjoyed the video! There are a lot of steep trails in the Tweed Valley - that's for sure!
WOLFPACK ADVENTURES So I’m finding out.
Good luck Alex , look forward to seeing the tweed valley boys results in the EWS 2020.
Thanks Gus, Hopefully we'll be back between the tapes soon - for now, things are postponed and we've gotta get a little creative
Nice video 👌🏻 done a few events now and struggle a bit despite being pretty fit for my age it doesn’t quite translate to enduro. How do you deal with long waits at stages, or is that less of thing at higher level race’s?
Nice video! I'm doing Enduro MTB training from Dee Tidwell and the gym sessions are quite different... Usually 5-6 times per week after work and session takes me about 1,5h. I always start with stretching and mobility and then do either stability/strength/cardio (sprints or 1 hour ride) programs for the rest. More videos like this :)
Glad you enjoyed the video Adam! Appreciate your comment!
Awesome video Alex I thing I like is around the clock on a stationary bike 10 sec on 50 off 20 on 40 off all the way to 50 on 10 0ff repeat 6 time
Sounds like a tough workout!
I liked the excited dog lol
Im 14 but i am thinking of riding in EWS and this really helped. I wonder if mountain bike brands are interested in Indian athlete thats my major consern
Hey man, great goal! I don't think brands would be bothered at all about where you're from, as long as you can help them out, I'm sure they'll return the favor by helping you ❤️
WOLFPACK ADVENTURES I’m also 14 and from Australia and my dream is to race in the EWS but how do u even enter to race?
Was up there couple of Saturdays ago doing the same push. Snow is hard work
Yeah it's a b*tch right? It's subsided a little now which is grand to peddle up
Very good to watch, Used to ride mountain bikes ages ago. Picked up an enduro bike during lockdown, hopefully get to race a enduro soon! Been doing triathlon last few years so my finish is good but dunno if the skills are still there (Good power output as well, think ive peaked out at 1000 once or twice. Whats your FTP and W/KG?)
Awesome, and I'm stoked you enjoyed the video! Not sure what my power output is! Maybe I should do a test
945w is actually pretty good !
Nice ski erg. I have the rowing machine and would like a ski erg as well.
I love ski ergs!
Great video, I don’t know if I missed it but I was wondering how many days you workout per week?
Usually 3
@@wolfpack_adventures do you ride every day?
Are you doing the full EWS season? Great vid 👌🏼
That's the plan, yep. Same as last year
Awesome. Looking forward to the vids
Want to get faster and fitter so this has really helped bro
Awesome Mark, happy it helped you out!
sick video bro!... how much do you drop the psi in your suspension for a race compared to everyday riding.?
Forks are currently set around 72-74 PSI with one token. I don't really change that too much - I may go up a PSI or two depending on the race
Lew Buchanan is mint on a bike
He's handy eh
