A new format that will take the place of the individual articles dedicated to training. There will be several professionals who will alternate within this space, from the mental coach to the nutritionist, passing through the technician of the position in the saddle up to the undersigned who will dedicate himself, as always, to the preparation, prevention and analysis of the posture. A team that will give you information on how to train in the best possible way from every point of view.
Today a training plan must take into consideration several factors, not just the classic ones of the repetitions and so on. It will be possible to inquire through our contributions, but at the same time it will also be possible to create personalized training plans, which start from our experience and are tailored to the needs of the individual.
Why a mental coach
The reasons for relying on a mental coach can be many, surely it will be useful to give you ideas to better understand the performance of top riders. In fact, behind great results there is a work that takes care of every detail in a maniacal way. This means that the athlete is subjected to higher pressures than a few years ago, which can crush him.
The most shining example of what it means to be strong in the head is surely Nino Shurter. We do not know if he is natural talent or if he is followed by a professional, but it is known that during his long career he managed to demolish at least three generations of athletes as skilled as he is. His ability to withstand that extra second in critical moments often made the difference between winning or placing. Furthermore, he managed to adapt to technical and course upheavals like no other. He started with the 26 'and will finish on a full 29' that looks like a trail bike; with paths that have changed over time and always different training techniques. To do all this he needs a strong mind or a guide to help you make changes., Which often contributed to the decline of many riders.
A good nutritionist can put you on the turbo
Knowing what to eat and when to eat it is important for our body to function at its best. Calibrating the mixture we give to our engine can allow us to go faster, recover earlier and reduce training injuries, all factors that can guarantee greater satisfaction. Planning meals also according to the type of training that took place, evaluating how to replace some foods that give us intolerances is an important element even outside of training.
The position in the saddle
From the knowledge of our body we pass to the realization of the right position on the MTB. There are basic rules to start with, but then our body is unique, as are our anthropometric measurements. This makes it necessary to adjust each element to try to reduce trauma by relieving the joints in the best way.
… And finally you pedal!
Obviously, without a good training plan, it is difficult to achieve the desired results. Knowing when to insert a particular tool and how to fix any physical problems is still the foundation to start from. It is clear, however, that being able to count on a working group all this can be easier.
