The concept of Everesting is fiendishly simple: Pick any hill, anywhere in the world and ride repeats of it in a single activity until you climb 8,848m [29,029ft] – the equivalent height of Mt Everest. The increased interest and discussion about Everesting on a bike warrants a dedicated base threa…

Has anybody here done it on a MTB?

Had a look at the leaderboards on Everesting.cc and what @julianoliver and @Dick_Dylan were saying in the previous thread holds out, the magic numbers generally are just either side of 10%. My first guess was that the fastest times would have been lower, around 5 or 6% but with strong tailwinds, bu…

I don’t think that anything above Endurance at 75% is possible when you are looking at 10 hours to 20 hours on the bike. Even with the interval nature of it, that is massive.

I played with those numbers as well and thought it would be fantastic to hold a low sweetspot pace. However, that’s a huge toll on your muscles and you’ll be burning way more carbs. So fuelling the effort becomes way more complicated

What the heck? Not sure why my search missed that yesterday. I will merge these when I time. Sorry for missing that one.

I’m taking things a bit easier next year after a coyote of hard seasons. My one goal next year is to complete an everesting. I remember Jonathan mentioning he completed one in the past. I was thinking SSB l & ll, sustained power build and then 40 km TT plan. Specifically to be able to hold power fo…

Not that I’ve ever attempted it, but I’d like to in the future. I agree with your base and build, but I’d be more inclined to do the century specialty plan due to the length of the endeavor and the sustained power needs.

DItto. It’s just one of those things I want to do. I think both GCN and BikeRadar(?) did Everesting vids this year, the BR one had more in-depth gear, training, and nutrition info. I’d think gear and nutrition and logistic planning would be far more impactful and important than training. I think i…
