Hello all,
I have signed up for the Nightmare Tour 200 (
Startpagina) this year and noticed it has a lot of climbing. The estimation is between 17k and 20k of climbing over the 200 miles, yikes! The longest I have ridden is 143 miles with 5k'ish of climbing earlier this year at the Vuelta de
PR. What type of training would you recommend to get me prepared for this? Currently I weigh in at 175ish and do the following training: Monday: weights; 4 sets of squats X 25 reps ranging from 1/4 body weight to max 80% body weight. 4 sets of reverse lunges x 20 at 50 to 60 pound barbel total weight. 2 sets of calf raises at 20 reps at or above body weight. 2 sets of hamstring curls with 40-60 pounds of resistance. Throughout the week i put in between 70-150 miles or riding. Around half of my miles are just z-1 on a trainer and the other half are between z3 and z4
Thank you all for all your help!
edit for clarification on types of current rides.
