\u201cTrain smart, not hard.\u201d That\u2019s the sage advice of Claud Altin, founder of the hugely popular Mega Spin classes at Adelaide\u2019s premier cycling outlet Mega Bike.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cTrain smart, not hard,” the wise advice of Claud Altin, founder of Mega Spin.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cRide to the numbers, not to fatigue – our programmes are about training wisely,\u201d super fit 63yo Altin said, as we discussed training and preparation for South Australia’s Clare Classic on April 8.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cYears ago I noticed that some people were putting a huge amount of time and effort into their training, but, frustratingly, not getting the desired results,\u201d he continued. \u201cThere can be a lot of wasted training out there – some people think they are needing to do 500km a week but all they end up with is extreme tiredness and fatigue.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
With a long history in coaching, 15 years ago Altin started teaching his numbers-based cycling training method at Mega Spin.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cBy testing each and every rider then creating individual numbers for them, people don\u2019t train to how they feel on the day but to the numbers we have pulled from them,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd those numbers don\u2019t lie – they\u2019re deadly accurate,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Up to 80 people a week are benefiting from the Mega Spin classes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\u201cPeople develop a natural rhythm of how they ride particular terrain. A lot of it is training the mind. Riders will find they have clear thoughts when going a slow to medium speed but things turn chaotic when the pace or pressure is on. I can help change that so they have a clear mind when needed most, when going flat out.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Often with 15 people per class, up to 80 people a week are benefiting from Mega Spin.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cRight now we have people doing the spin class in preparation for the Clare Classic,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd others who are working their way to their dream cycling holiday with us. We can get people from virtual beginners, making their way to intermediate then on to advanced \u2026 Some then come to Europe with me and put it all into practice conquering the world\u2019s most famous climbs.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Hard work and solid results – registered Clare Classic riders have started their training plan with Mega Spin with others opting for the online program.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had some wonderful success stories,\u201d he continued.\u00a0 \u201cLast year the whole of our travel group did Mortirolo in Italy, a13km climb at 16 to 22% \u2026 that\u2019s a serious hill. But that\u2019s the sort of ability we get out of our people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
With many scared off by just the mention of the word \u2018spin\u2019, Altin said there\u2019s absolutely nothing to be afraid of.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cNot at all,\u201d he said. \u201cWe cater\u00a0for\u00a0absolute beginners to professional riders. There\u2019s nothing at all to worry about. Riders enjoy it and they feel a major change – because of the mental way they go about their riding – in the first two weeks.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cFor riders looking at their own training for the Clare Classic, my recommendation is for them to find a local 2km hill and do ten repeats twice a week,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cIn addition to this I\u2019d recommend a weekly base of something in the vicinity of 100km with friends or a group,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cMega Spin also offers\u00a0online coaching which could be good for those who can\u2019t get to our classes but want to take advantage of our training plans in the lead up to the Clare Classic.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cThese riders simply fill out a detailed questionnaire and we put together a tailored programme to prepare for the event – this is not just tailored to the individual, but the actual event they\u2019re intending to do.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Mega Spin classes are conducted on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings and evenings, from 7am – 8am and 6:30pm – 7:30pm.\u00a0<\/span>On-the-road sessions include an uphill Monday afternoon sunset ride – from 6:30pm til 8:30pm – and each Saturday morning there\u2019s a flat ride from 7:30am til 9:30 am.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
