annie last ..legend .. such a great rider .. ladies xc is some of the best watching in mtb racing .... always close races with serious skills and fantastic battles ,right down the field ...
Thanks for the tips Annie! I raced XC back in the 80's & 90's and really targeted Hill Repeats and riding a road bike to meet a specific time/mile.....after being out of Mt Biking for 20 years, I'm 71 now and no racing planed just want to be as fit as possible so I can make it to 90!! Fun is what I'm chasing now but still have to fit to have fun... I love watching these crazy Limeys as they ball are a little nuts...;-). PS had no idea Blake surfed as well.....seems like a great guy to have fun with as he's nuts as well ;-)
I’m currently working on building up my endurance to complete an 100 mile bike ride. I stick to 10miles cycling a day, I’m focusing on improving my time and breathing. If you stay consistent, fitness will be a byproduct.
Rest is so incredibly important as a key component. Aside from just the sense that one needs to rest, the reality is that the muscles you've worked out actually grow in the rest periods--not the workout periods.
Very interesting seeing Blake in such a calm and more legitimate talking about an important topic. And nice to see Annie on the channel. But Blake, I also like the "childish" crazy Blake enjyoing his time on the bike ;)
It's always good as well through the winter months to take time out to session certain parts of trails that often catch you out so you are ready for the brighter days. Try taking different lines to see what that does to exit speed etc. Inside, middle or outside and does that work better from an entry point and how does it line you up for the next part of the trail.
I usually use my winters to build my aerobic base too! I loved that you had Annie on the show. I’d love to see more female representation: how does Isabeau Cordurier train in the winter?
Just train with intention in winter, an hour or so steady moderate few times a week min. If poss. , Train at threshold and fitness will improve, at 58 I still am to have an easy day and come back trashed, in a good way. I notice in a few days I'm stronger, sometimes an entire gear..
Pls, can you make teaching video about hitting sharkfins, and other kind berm jumps. I’ve searched for this kind of video but there isn’t even single one.
I had a chance to talk with a Triathlon Athlete way back in 2019 and he does Iron Man races here in the Philippines. I will never forget what he said in Filipino but here is the translation "Most cyclists lack and forget the basics and the most important stamina building workout, JOGGING / RUNNING".
After about 3 years the last Keurig stopped working ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf initially was able to unblock, however eventually we couldn't fix. That one was a replacement unit sent by the manufacturer after we had problems with our very first Keurig. This works fine (lol, at least for now) however I didn't realize the water reservoir was so much smaller than our prior unit. With 2 people having one or two cups of coffee each morning, it seems like I'm refilling it daily. Otherwise just happy to have the convenience of pod coffee vs. making a morning pot.

Never forget beer.
Deep Frozen Pizza + your favorite energy drink to get the heart pumping

Couldn't agree more!
I love the sound of break squeal in the morning, it sounds like victory
Charlie don't surf.

Have Annie on the channel more often. She has a very good broadcasting voice!
Keep the xco content coming 👍
Your winter is our spring .
GMBN showing us that they value the quality of their vids over the quanitiy of them!

Great to see Annie on the video. Best of luck for the season to come!
Like you did with Nino a few years back , be great to see gym and ride sessions that Annie and others do

Never thought I'd see Blake on a bike with flat handlebars!

great video, Annie very good on camera.
More XC content please
Great video 😃 Great tips 😃 and fun is the most important ❤❤
Definitely needing this after the Xmas period 😂
Glad to hear it!
Is that your off season helmet Blake? Where’s the pink lid? 😢
I have my mega out of game for suspension service 😭
Ight, time to get the cheap xc hardtail out and ride
Two is one, one is none. Always have a spare bike. Bonus points if the spare is a hardtail.
See Blake, you dangle the carrot in front of your horse to encourage it to move forward. Or a pig in minecraft.

Didn't you say something about working on fitness in January on a diff GMBN show?
100%
If you get fit do you need to remove the peak from your helmet? Please don't make that a fad, Blake!
"100 per cent!" Annie Last!
I love Blake too much but you guys really need a proper xco presenter! Great to see Annie on the show though, pretty amazing career so far 👏

Why not keep Annie? It's been a long time since gmbn had a female presenter (but I dream veronique Sandler)
I'm pretty sure her brother used to present on GCN, Annie has appeared on a few videos

Pizza. Is good
Ride single speed.
Probably not fond of her family name...
Annie Last certainly doesn't come Last that's for sure! 🤘
Her middle name is never
lol guess he helps motivate not to be last :D. Thanks(From Utah) for this video and tips Blake and Annie!!
🤣
So basic
