Five Strength Exercises to Build Endurence

Go Longer with Confidence.

A few years ago, everyone wanted to ride Sportives or Grand Fondo’s. At its peak the 100 mile Ride London event attracted 25,000 riders. There are still wait lists for the hardest challenges,

Ultra Running is hot. Marathons are not long enough anymore. The same goes for bike races. A ‘hundred’ is no longer enough.

The 2400 km Pan Celtic Race sold out quickly. You can now race from Italy to the very northernmost tip of the European land mass, a ride of 4000 km’s. The Trans-Contiental is between 3200 and 4200 kms and the RAAM is the daddy of them all at 5000 kms. There are now ultra-races to suit anyone with the desire to suffer.

Going long requires specific attributes. You need durability not to break-down, the endurance for the long haul. It is not about how fast you can go, at times it is about how long you can continue, just to move forward.

Building a stong body is essential if you are planning to go long.
