2020 Peaks Challenge Falls Creek - Pacing and Training Tips with James G

[@StephenLaneHPTek]

For the folks that have already watched this, sorry for the re-upload. I tried to sharpen up the out of focus problem a bit after I gopt a few tips on how to do so. I hope it is a bit better now.

Congrats on making it to the BN board James, looking forward to seeing some good work and results from the BN team this year.... I can vouch for the value of joining the Peaks Challenge training rides - not only would you get a good handle of measuring your form with your chosen pace group, it’s also a great way to learn, network and meet some really awesome ppl who will be supporting you along the way during the ride...

Great video thanks Stephen and James! This is my 3rd 3P. I am 91kg and tend to descend quickly, fairly good on the flats and climb quite slowly. I therefore tend not to be able to work well with the 10 or 9 hr group as I cannot climb at their pace. My strategy has therefore been to leave with the faster groups and try and group up with whoever I can on the flats and then climb at my own pace (watching the 9hr group cruise by!). By doing this, I have managed to get around in 9:48 last time. This strategy seems to make sense to me but would like to know your thoughts?

Hi Dr Lane, Sorry to bother but I’m doing research for 2022 and found this video. Was very keen to see the W/kg table however the link doesn’t appear to be working. Is there another copy elsewhere online? Thanks very much, Matt

@@MegaWusty Hi Mate. Give the link a go now and it should work. Best of luck with your training :)

[@MegaWusty]

@@StephenLaneHPTek Thanks very much. I’ve been deep diving all of your previous videos as well. Very helpful. If you have time: do you have FTP W/kg recommendations? Or do you find it’s too narrow of a metric and doesn’t represent well enough? And therefore better to stick with what’s on the table. All registered, see you in March! Thanks again, Matt

I've never done 3peaks, how long are the climbs? Are they like hour long climbs?

[@joshmcarthur8288]

Hey Slane, any chance you could post the w/kg chart, cheers

Hmmm. It was there on the original version. I must have deleted it when I tried to improve the focus thing. Ill add a link to it in the description.
