Question: I want to improve the first 5-10 minutes of my off-road race. What are some good workouts to do?
The start of most off-road motorcycle races are certainly an important piece and are more critical than any other 5-10 minute segment of the entire race duration. You have the best chance at the beginning of the race to pass the most riders! Establishing your race position early will allow you to settle into your rhythm without having to charge or chase down your competition later in the race. However, it is also critical that you don't start off too hard since it is possible to negatively affect the rest of the race if you go too hard too soon. Knowing yourself and what you are capable of doing will help you to figure out how hard to go at the start of your next race. Fortunately, by training for race starts you also learn just how hard you can go and how various intensities affect your ability to withstand such an effort over the entire race.
