I coach the Pros, but can I RACE THEM? Episode 1.

I'm Jonny Thompson and I'm average, but as the coach of some of the best riders in the world can I pick up my skills and race in one of the hardest races on the planet?
Follow my journey to get fit and skilful on the bike along side support from YT Industries and the amazing Capra Uncaged 6.

[@dzastafahrai]

Love the idea of the video, looking forward to see more! Signing for EWS100 is definitely a motivation kick 🤘

[@Fit4Racing]

We’re looking forward to making more for you. 👊

[@bumpsahead]

This was so good. I've done a couple of Enduros and have very quickly realised that I'm below average compared to everyone else riding. It has been the most fun I've ever done on my bike. Looking forward to seeing this series play out 🤘

[@Fit4Racing]

Fun is what we’re all about but the fun is cranked up when progression is also happening.

[@eddieh3509]

They were like "where brought a friend.." and I thought "this dude Jonno is about to ask me to throw a coin to my Witcher." Seriously though, it's been a killer series so far, keep it up!

[@Fit4Racing]

Thanks Eddie, we're cracking on with some more of the same style.

[@outsideeveryday7342]

awesome stuff!

[@Fit4Racing]

Thanks

[@easty-stage-4-fighter.]

Really enjoyed this. Hope there will be regular updates on your progress

[@Fit4Racing]

Yes, there will be more in this series specifically but we hope to continue after to document more progression and challenges.

[@georgewindsurf]

Great video, I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. Your first hand experience of training for and racing the EWS can help make an already great program even better. Best of luck dude¡🤟

[@Fit4Racing]

Thanks George. And thanks for the support of the program!

[@rossridesmtb7497]

Really enjoyed this. Looking forward to seeing how you progress. This is the inspiration I needed! I'm 43!

[@Fit4Racing]

Great to hear!

[@skiboardordie]

Wait! 6.5 inches is average?! I've been lied all these years! :))) Joking aside, series like this are so entertaining and inspirational, keep 'em coming!!

[@Fit4Racing]

Glad you picked up on that 😂

[@adrianwilkinson2547]

This years EWS series just gets better and better! I’m sure Elliott won’t beast Jonny on the climbs 🤔😂 Jono is going to be surprising himself,now he’s with you guys, with his results! 👍

[@Fit4Racing]

Eyes on Elliott and Jono this year for sure. We have high hopes for all of the riders we support and we hope to feature them in our upcoming vids.

[@jbs3691]

This is a great start! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the adventure.

[@Fit4Racing]

Thanks!

[@jimnapier6885]

That was excellent, love to see the progress, Inspires.

[@Fit4Racing]

Thanks. Keep watching 🤟

[@pandadundee6430]

Im keen for this series! Great concept!

[@Fit4Racing]

Thanks!

[@richardw.3684]

Awesome video and topic Jonny! I am stoked to see how this works out. Keep up the positive vibes and hard work as always!

[@Fit4Racing]

Thanks Richard, it’s getting close to the race now, very excited for it 💪🏼

[@HollerHunter]

Super excited for this series. Thanks for making.

[@Fit4Racing]

Thanks dude, we hope you love the next ones

[@JudgeJor]

Great to see how’ll you do! Getting into racing myself this season, first enduro done 🤙

[@Fit4Racing]

How did you get on with your first enduro? The one in this vid is only 2 weeks away, fingers crossed I've done enough!

[@JudgeJor]

@@Fit4Racing Easily one of the best weekends in my life! I did Slovenian Enduro Series round 1 in Croatia, logically 😀 Middle of the pack in 4Fun category, would have been close to last in men. The first races are more about how to do a race rather than racing. Now I don't always go for a ride but to train on the bike. Also took a race training camp. Being self taught like most, there is speed to unlock if someone takes look at the riding. I think you are covered 😀 Good luck and have fun out there!

[@Fit4Racing]

@@JudgeJor thanks for taking the time to post this

[@EE.BIKE.GUM77]

Yeah I'll be watching this series.. I did Boltby Bash a week ago I came last and at 45 definitely over weight and I ride a Ebike (yeah I know cheeter but I do have a good excuse I got hit by a land rover in 95 and trashed my knee which is catching up with me now) I'm going to do it again next year so I'm gonna try my best to get fitter not fatter so I'll be looking for some good pointers. I'll have a look through your other videos too.. 🤘

[@Fit4Racing]

We’d love to help you crush the race next year and hope our content spurs you on. We do have an online program you can follow by searching FIT4RACING however, start with the free content on here are get into a groove.

[@giulianoacciarresi2748]

Love Bike brands supporting more mountain bike culture like fit4racing!

[@Fit4Racing]

YT-industries have been so good to work with and more than anything their bikes are sick! I have no excuses with racing now

[@midpackrider]

Awesome watch that mate, just had a wake up call with racing in my last masters at steelcity dh, boltby bash are coming up to Ardrock this year and want to work on some fitness and skills to get more competitive going into veterans next year, Great inspiration.. nice one 🤘🏼any of your vids you recommend to build a good fitness routine?
