Hi guys, I would like to do some serious training during the winter for the next season of downhill MTB. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find any books and/or articles directed at DH training. I have read Friel’s bible, the 2nd edition of training with power, Carmichael’s Crunched time cyclist, and Burke’s Serious cycling etc.
The problem is these books are directed at road or XC cyclist. The most relevant part I guess was reading section on BMX training in Coggan’s and Allan’s book and more in their blog.
Can you please share your views on sprint, endurance, weights and X-training for this discipline?
Also could you be specific about what kind of interval training should I be doing and why and at which part of the year?
To help my training I have an ergometer bike (Kettler ergoracer GT) for the winter days when the weather is just too bad…
Many thanks for any advice
