GROUP RIDES.
FINDING THAT SWEET SPOT
*By INFINIT Nutrition Sponsored Coach Eric Kenney *
Many cyclist and triathletes a like participate in group rides. They have
unique place in our training and over all preparation. They can simulate a
bike race, add some intensity to your training, be great prep for those
doing ITU races and lets face it, there just fun!
Matt Reed is seen on the local group rides in Boulder often. Many long
distance triathletes add in a fast rodie like group rides to mix things up
and get some high intensity. Tony Delongewinner at IM USA many years back
through down a record bike split on his way to an 8:56! Tony would take
part in the Tue. group ride out side of Boston quite often. Regardless of
your racing goals these can be great training but all group rides are not
the same and, more so, the same group ride can be a very different
experience for different people.
So what’s your Sweet Spot for a Group Ride?
First off, we are talking about the fast rides. Hard, pre-set course, if
you get dropped no one is waiting for you rides. Not the “team rides.” The
first thing you should be doing, or not doing really, is trying to make the
ride something its not. I have heard before “I’m gona do my threshold (or
tempo) work on the group ride tonight“, ahh, no your not. This type of
training where you’re on the legs every pedal stroke for your selected
interval time a group ride is not the place to do this type of training.
Unless you can ride on the front of the group in your zone for that long
with out anyone coming around you. I’m guessing you can’t.
A group ride gives us a few unique things we simply can’t get alone.
If you are going to do a ride of this nature you should be looking for at
least some of these things.
Ok, so were are going to do some group rides, now what? What’s a good ride
for you, what’s not so good. First off, know the route, maybe ride it solo
or with a few friends before so you know where your going, where the big
hills are, down hills, turns, etc.
Intensity, the key factor:
This is where I see so many people blow there “group ride” type training.
If going on a group ride involves you hanging on for dear life for 20-30
minutes, accumulating 40% or more of your time above threshold (power
time), getting dropped and limping home barely able to push Zone 2 wattage
the ride is too hard and you’re doing more damage than good most likely.
You want your ride to be challenging, not over reaching,. You want to be
able to repeat your training! ie. get out of bed the next morning for
another ride even if its easy. You should be able to finish the ride. if
not with the front group at least a group of other riders. Beyond this look
to be able to do a few hard efforts without getting dropped. (go to the
front and do some pulls, a few 1′ attacks off the front, etc) and be able
to recover in the pack when you need.
So a few, more tangible factors to aim for:
Above is a link to a group ride done by myself The ride is less the first
30′ and less the last 40.
This ride was tough. One reason is because it was the first one of the
year! That first date with significant anaerobic time is always hard. I got
a flat with about 30′ still to ride. the last 30-40 minutes of the ride was
tough. after a quick flat fix I was riding in a smaller group pulling
through more frequently and getting less rest time. one of the things to
note about any ride is how difficult there are while still having so much
time in Z1 and not pedaling!!
Find your sweet spot. Make sure you can keep training after the ride. can
you finish it? What does your power file and HR file look like? The over
all idea here gang. Can you get all of these adaptations in (mentioned
above) but minimize the crushing fatigue and muscle damage of a full on
race effort?
So before you decide on the group ride workout get some info on what your
in for, know your route and decide what your really looking to get from it.
Is this ride going to give you that?
Be safe and have fun. Tough group rides can be the most fun you can have on
2 wheels.
