Training for endurance events - random tips from you long-distance gals?

[Trek420]

Next summer? That's plenty of time for you, you'll do fine. I was thinking last minute like this thread ~ http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=13336&

Two words for you at this stage of the game: base miles.

I'd build a solid foundation of LSD (noooooo, not drugs. Long Slow Distance). In my humble slow, not strong on hills opinion add intervals and hills later on.

Oh wait, Norway, you don't have any flat rides As I recall Norwegians can make any event a race. "Last one to the sticky buns and hot chocolate hut at the top of the hill buys"

Have you talked to your local ALC rider D.o.Wheels? She told me that you're already a fast rider. To do longer rides and back to back centuries you'll need the ability to recover. I'd start now by building base fitness for distance with long rides.

Are you going to do "The Great Test of Strength"????
