KLÖSER ON IN-RIDE FUELLING
Klöser’s key positions on in-ride fuelling.
- Road and gravel fitness reinforce each other — the bike-handling, pacing, and fuelling demands of gravel translate back to the bunch.
- Long off-road events are won on fuelling discipline more than on raw power — the riders who blow up are the ones who under-eat in hour two.
IN KLÖSER’S OWN WORDS
Verbatim from Rosa Klöser’s appearances on the podcast.
“I think for a lot of people that do that that's more to be mentally ready. There is no need to do these 8 to 10 hour rides to be actually able to race for 10 hours but I think for a lot of people that do that that's more to be mentally ready.”
“For me it's now I think for the next eight days, a structure of two days hit intervals, which are V2 max sessions with one basic recovery day slash low intensity day that is also quite short and then we repeat the structure.”
“This two to three day period after altitude is where I feel the strongest effect and that's also very personal again. So there's people who have this intense direct effect, so right off altitude, and then other people more go for like the 3-week effect, which we often see that the GC contenders in the tour etc aim for.”
