Train like a Pro (Toque Edition)

Last week I came across a list of tips for training like a pro. Bissell's Paul Mach and Ian Boswell came up with it while training together in California and I thought it was pretty great. But I add a few things. Enjoy and remember...when in doubt, pedal it out!

Rules for Pros:

- Ride by 10am.

- Ride in a small group or alone.

- Always train in leg warmers when its below 70 degrees.

- Make short and quick stops, no hanging around- this is a job.

- Don't coast on downhills.

- Get behind, get left behind.

- Don't bonk, but eating is cheating.

- Train hard, rest hard.

- Don't race down wet descents during training.

Toque Tips

- Bike = Whine/wine free zone

- Research your body

- Strengthen your mind

- Then listen to both!
