I am participating in the DK100 in 2020 and was looking for some advice on how to best utilize the TR plans to set me up for success. I currently have the Sweet Spot Base going into Sustained Power build with the Century plan wrapping up one week out from the event. I’m totally new to structured t…

I’ve seen this from other threads on the 200 and read through it. Definitely some good guidance in there! I was just hoping to start a discussion on the shorter distance to see if anyone had other thoughts on how to tackle that type of training. It may be as simple as “treat it like a century and i…

DK200 is a bucket list ride for sure. I’m doing Both Barry Roubaix 100 and Rough Road 100 in April so I’ll know more about my fitness after the events. I’d imagine Barry Roubaix and DK100 would be similar. If all goes well there’s a good chance I’ll attempt DK200 in 2021. My main focus this year is…

[image] EmeraldCitizen: It may be as simple as “treat it like a century and ignore the gravel”, which is understandable. Definitely not that simple…I haven’t read all the threads linked to above, but my piece of advice is to not train by mileage but by time. There is a BIG difference between…

Solid advice on training for time and not mileage. I am doing the low volume of all plans and plan to throw in some Zwift rides as well as outdoor rides in between to supplement. Personally, I need to see things move past me every once in a while whether they be digital or real for my mental health. …

[image] EmeraldCitizen: Is that too close, or is finishing at that point and then just maintaining through the week plenty? If I remeber correctly what I’ve read here somewhere that’s quite perfect. Complete the last week of your specialty plan the week leading up to your event and maybe redu…

[image] EmeraldCitizen: I imagine you don’t have nearly the opportunities to ride gravel in Chicago @Power13 , eh? Not really…we have the Des Plaines River trail, but it is very non-technical and just packed sand / gravel. Damn near paved…ridden my road bike on it plenty of times with no issu…

[image] Power13: we have the Des Plaines River trail You could take that to the Prairie Path or Great Western Trail our west. I’ll ride that up to Wisconsin (via fox river trail) once in a while. Like you said nothing technical but it’s a fun trip going through the little down towns and what …

Yeah, both of those trails are pretty far south for me…I’m up in the Northern burbs. So when the DPR gets high, it is a mess to head south. As a DPR option, I’ll head over the Millenium trail and go north up through Rollins Savanah, McDonalds Woods, etc. Even less technical than DPR, but at least…
