Except most enduro racing these days does have lift support. One of the reasons I don’t like it. I would totally do enduro racing if you actually had to have endurance and climb. One of the biggest local races has 4 stages with about 500-1000’ of total climbing, you take the lift for all but one stage.

Yeah, I know some are set that way (with lifts) at least in part because of the location (ski / bike resorts in many cases). Surely varies with location and specific events.
Either way, my comment was a joke that failed like many of my other attempts

Roadies without the road? wow…that hurts.
I do all the disciplines, even rode my gravel bike to work today.

“Enduro” is even more confusing if you’ve ridden Motorcycle off road enduros.
And some of the M TB plan workouts annoy me when they say adopt/practice an “aero position”. Really? Indicates the workouts are not MTB focused but just adopted from the “road” plans. So just how useful are they to MTB?

That’s for practicing ducking low branches

Just as useful. Basically that cue is to get into a position on the bike you expect to see during your events/races. So as a pure MTB’er who does 90% of my workouts on the trainer, that cue is to either stand and/or alter my cadence to reflect trail conditions.
