How To Build Fitness Endurance & Ride Further With XC Pro Annie Last!

[@HKRoad]

What a top person she is. Well done Blake for keeping up with Annie.

[@hannahisraelsen6816]

Way to go Annie, for slowing down for Blake haha

[@peterpan8907]

Enough to eat is really the key. A good friend of mine once said...once you feel hungry its already too late. You need to eat constantly before feeling hungry.

[@chrisb2609]

awsome, i love the more xc based content

[@dylan-5287]

I feel kinda dumb now for never bringing snacks thinking it's all good yet I always seem to hit a bit of a wall around 1.5hrs where I'm noticeably slower from then on. Definitely giving that tip a try.

[@2nd3rd1st]

Yeah I used to think too that a good breakfast would keep me fuelled for a few hours but every time I bring snacks and water it gets much easier, especially in the cold.

[@desp_ana]

I was the same. It feels like a cheat code when you have something and fuel up. But I also didn’t wanna rely on bringing snacks every ride.

[@pubplays368]

It’s a decent tip. However, a light nutritional breakfast will provide you with better energy (keyword: nutritional. Not garbage like cereal.) vs trying to snack every hour during a ride from the get go. Keep it light and full of nutrients in the morning. Go for a 3 hour ride and then start to snack per the hour after. Otherwise, you can accidentally comatose during a ride and lose even more energy. These are my tips if you’re trying to improve endurance. This helped me build enough stamina to mountain bike 424 miles in one day. Keep at it and good luck lads 👍

[@Guthy_mtb]

I am with you on that one, I also get super hungry and tend to over eat once I am home!

[@abdarraafi]

I used to hit a wall 5 miles in and I really couldn’t understand what happened for the longest time. Then a friend mentioned how he snacks every 15-30 mins and it totally blew my mind.

[@SnideArt]

Thanks Gmbn, more fitness related videos would be great! (Like GCN). It might not be cool but the fitter you are the more fun riding is... and sorry people are less likely to buy an ebike! Embrace the challenge of mtb 🤘

[@jeanmarc_in_Hudson]

Great video, Annie is a natural for the camera! 👍

[@Andy_ATB]

GCN's Tom Last (aka The Brick) is her brother.......

[@anitalandkroon]

Great video 😃 I always have my mobile with me 😎 and everything else depends on when and where I ride 😃

[@ashleytombs]

Preparation make sure I have got plenty of Tubes and all tools I definitely get a workout every time I ride Street riding and caring an old school DH bike like a glory up flights of stairs definitely a workout specially if it’s 30° outside as I live in the UK it doesn’t happen too often thank God what fuel we have is not good McDonald’s KFC Red Bull or monster Whatever junk Food me and my friends can fit in our bag street riding is like free ride no rules Me and my friends struggle Specially if it’s hot Riding DH bike most of the day it’s hard going Having fun is what gets me through the day

[@calypso2niner]

More of these with pro riders would be great, you don't get to know them as well only watching race weekends.

[@aaronburela432]

Looks chilly there base layer Blake is in rare form

[@alexjones3441]

I got lost round that place a couple of weeks ago 🤣🤣

[@VictorElGreco]

Good call on metrics. It’s the *hours* that count. 🙏🏻😅👍🏻

[@JB-1138]

Is it hard filming most of your videos early in the morning?

[@juluisreyes9094]

Common Blake..your just pretending to be weak.. 🤣🤣🤣

[@wadeintonature2975]

Has anyone on the gmbn crew ever compete in the Leadville 100?

[@ensnipe2000]

Couple of bottles of drinks, trail mix snacks, pure maple syrup energy shots, my wallet with cash to stop at a convenience store if I need more

[@ensnipe2000]

And pain meds for my knees if I need it

[@nerdfacellc]

Farther* farther relates to distance, further is a degree. 🤙🤓🤙

[@2nd3rd1st]

If you dont have much time to go out riding and building stamina during the week get an exercise bike for your living room.

[@gmbn]

Great idea!

[@rupedog]

Ooo, New sponsor spotted...DAINESE. Both Neil and Bingers not wearing gmbn jackets now but Dainese ones 👀🕵️‍♂️

[@johngreen787]

[@2nd3rd1st]

I'm poor and these bars are expensive so I never bring any. What's a comparable cheap trail snack other than bananas?

[@gazzas28]

Homemade flapjack with dried fruit. Peanut butter. Blake did a video about recipes for trail food.

[@2nd3rd1st]

Thanks, great tips!

[@karlsteadman5936]

Fig rolls are my go to snack

[@pubplays368]

You can pack some peanut butter and a few flour tortillas or a few slices of bread. One slice or tortilla with some peanut butter is all you need per the hour for a long ride sesh. You can add a bit of jam for taste but like someone else said. Be careful consuming too much processed sugar during a ride.

[@copperpiiiipe]

Peanut butter and jam sandwich. Most protein bars are not high in carbs anyway so not much use for fuel. Rice crispy square bars are good and not too expensive.

[@anaoliveira141]

Annie is a🚀

[@kusheen...]

Long or short ride, I always have my phone and some money stored in my tool pouch.
