Any experienced TrainerRoad users out there getting ready for DK200? I’ve read through the explanations of all the training phases, but it’s only 20 weeks to race day…wondering how to modify the plans to work with the short time frame! Thanks! G :slight_smile:

Thanks for the quick reply! I was considering just doing Power Build and Century since I have a decent fitness base already…will review the article first, though! Cheers! G

Yeah, Sustained Power Build plus Century Specialty are the best prep. Also, this episode covers DK. [image] Testosterone, Mid-Race Mechanicals, Dirty Kanza and More – Ask a Cycling a Coach 191 Ask a Cycling Coach Podcast We’re answering more of your coaching questions on …

Thanks Chad! Appreciate the guidance and insight! Glenn

So I’ve started Sweet Spot training and was wondering if I should be doing the endurance variants of each workout or stick to the primary workout? Since this is my first DK200 (finished DK100 last year right at 12 hours), my goal is to finish within the cutoff time. This is also my first time using…

I’m fully stuck on the trainer for the foreseeable future. Ill be extending the Saturday and Sunday rides for sure. Either doing the longer versions, adding an extra workout, noodling on Zwift, or taking workouts from the HV plans. I’m itching to get out on the road for some miles but the forecast …

So DK2019 is about 4 weeks away and I have trained exclusively on TR. Sweet Spot high - Sustained Power high - Century high. I also do training criteriums on Tuesday nights. I did two 50 mile gravel races in March (100 miles and 11K ft of climbing). Next weekend is a 100 mile gravel race with 7.…
