Hill climb training - We all need it

Postby GPSGuided » Fri 02 Sep, 2016 10:52 am

How about this kind of hill climb training? Red Bull 400 up a ski jump ramp. Not bad for some masochism, right? :mrgreen:

Just move it!

Looks awesome! I'll remember this next time I'm struggling up the side of a mountain.

Pure hill time trial where power-to-weight ratio is king.

I would probably die a quarter of the way up, but my brain still thought, 'gee that looks like fun!' :lol:

400m elevation change! Yes, would be a near death experience at full pace.

I think they mean 400 metres distance not gain. They call it a 400 metre race?????

Ummm... If that's the case and assuming 40 deg grade, then the elevation change would be 300m. Still quite considerable. Half the elevation of Perrys Lookdown at Blackheath.
