Training, nutrition, and comfort are key factors in ultra-endurance events
To excel in ultra-endurance events, it is important to train hard, focus on nutrition, and ensure comfort on your bike.
Optimize your training to make the event enjoyable
Put effort into your training so that you can actually enjoy the event rather than just struggling through it.
Take care of your nutrition to fuel your performance
Find what food works best for you during the event and ensure you have enough calories to sustain your energy.
Prioritize comfort to have an enjoyable ride
Ensure that you and your bike are comfortable by finding the right bike position, choosing the correct saddle and shorts, and optimizing other factors that impact comfort.
Remember that the ride starts in Ludiac and avoid pushing too hard in the beginning
Don't exhaust yourself on the first day, as the real ride begins in Ludiac. Pace yourself and save energy for the later stages of the event.
Be cautious during the late-night hours and prioritize rest if needed
Avoid making bad decisions on the bike between 2 and 4 a.m. and use that time to rest or take a break if necessary.
