First of all sorry if my post is in the wrong section, I looked around and thought it looked at home here
So as the title suggests I am planning on cycling 1,000km in 10 days, going from Ireland to Lourdes, France. Aug 2016. A group of 5 of us, it's going to be a charity cycle and we have already secured some large corporate sponsorship.....only downside, we are nowhere near ready and honestly fitness levels are the worse you can imagine. Age group ranges from 30-55, and we have the best intentions but no idea where to start.
We are working on logistics, accommodation, even some marketing for charity campaign, but we do understand most important parts is the cycling and even the fuel for our body!
I was wondering does anyone have any advice, about a training programme? I have searched and search online so any help would be great. The young boy inside me says, jump on a bike and just cycle cycle.....that was fine for 10km till I was out of breath.....yes this is the size of our challenge
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated
thanks everyone
