Preparation continues

It‘s less than six weeks until I want to do my first pump only hour record attempt. That‘s no time in endurance sports. Still I what to do a little bit of preparation, that makes sense. Therefore I stopped experimenting with gear. It takes to much time. Time I need to ride. I will ride the Fullbag Fôboo with Surfrodz TKP front and Seismic G5 rear at the hour attempt. For the next weeks the plan is to do pumping sessions about twice a week. Last week I did a 30 minutes ride on a windy day and a 40 minutes one on a evening with hardly any wind. This week I want to proceed to 50 minutes. And after this I what to go for the hour.

Besides this I‘ve been cycling a few times and will try to do so at least once a week. You might asked, why cycling when you what to skate long distances? I choose cycling, as for me it is the best way of endurance training. I hate running and skating really long sessions stresses me feet and legs pretty much. On the other hand skating doesn‘t get the cardiovascular system going like cycling. So I ride my bike for this purpose. I did some 2 hour coffee rides and I really like spinning my legs at an easy pace. So the next weeks I will continue to ride my bike with low intensity. In the last three weeks before my hour record attempt I might shift to higher intensity intervals, both on bike and board.
