Your BIG Induna conditioning plan:
A warm BIG Induna greeting from the conditioning team. With little less than 6 weeks to go to race day we have a good mind that you are most probably on one of 2, maybe 3, places pertaining your fitness.
You either by now have had the luxury to develop a good Aerobic fitness base for the Induna race (See QUALITY VOLUME BASE PHASE below for some pointers if you want to be on par next year), or you have not (like the majority of us) had the time to give it any thought yet. Or maybe you are somewhere in-between? Well we would like to suggest some pointers, in the form of either a SHORT TERM INTERVENTION PLAN or a FULL OUT ASSAULT (or a combination of the two if you are the in-betweener), to help make sure you will definitely have a GREAT ride coming race day.
When applying the SAID (Specific Adaptations for Imposed Demands) principle, your preparation for the BIG Induna will need to be uniquely different and specific for that optimal day in the saddle.
The reason for this is that our terrain is unlike the majority of MTB racing terrain you will have experienced thus far. If you have already raced the BIG Induna before, you will most probably, with a BIG smile, know precisely what I mean. This is mainly because it is an exhilarating technical, tight, twisty, mostly permitting low to medium speed terrain with many accelerations and punchy climbs. This makes it an out of the ordinary awesome ride and therefore your preparation will need to be specific.
