I wanted to ask him or another noted trainer a couple questions. Didn't know if it would be him or someone with no clue answering my questions. Are there any professional trainers on here that I don't know about? I can't for the life of me remember.

Im a pro trainer but not for MX... But I might be able to help unless it's MX Specific...

You could tweet Aldon or Sieji or Ryno and I'm sure theyd answer.

Well thanks for the response guys. It is pretty much MX specific. I can't ask any of those guys through twitter , facebook , ect...because I don't use the social media stuff.

Basically what I wanted to know is if any of those trainers , or anyone in here with knowledge has every used split type training. Meaning , to help simulate an actual moto day. Instead of one grueling long 1hr session , split into two sets. Like a very high intense workout for 20-25mins , take a 20 min to 1/2hr break and then do it again.

I know the 45min to 1 hr sessions are going to help with endurance , but thinking maybe splitting it into 2 shorter , but more extreme workouts as well. Maybe do a split session on day 1 , a full 45min on day 2 , and back to a split again on day 3. Another words , go back and forth between the two.

I'm hitting my cardio every other day , with weight training and other exercises on the days in between , with a rest day thrown in here and there if I think I ne4ed an extra day of rest.

Anyone experiment with split sessions before?

Jeff,

for sure look into interval training, It helps me tremendously and it is really the only way to build cardiovascular capacity. The simplest way I do it is if you go to a High School or community college and run on the track.

1. warm up with easy jog say 2 laps or half mile and rest for 60 seconds.
2. sprint the straight and walk the curve - start at say 70% excretion and then increase so the last lap you are sprinting full out on the 8th lap or 2 miles total.
3. cool down jog of 1 or 2 laps
4. stretch.... we are getting old!!!

There are 100's of variation to this.

if you don't have a track find a route that has street lights at regular intervals and sprint or run hard in between and walk or jog the next interval.

Your endurance will increase this way faster than say running for 30 to 60 minutes... I know I am not a professional trainer, but. I stayed at a holiday inn once Tongue

Emails and contact from the Racer X Virtual Training program are usually from Tim Crytser. Not sure if he runs all the social media accounts as well

Seiji is awesome!. In a year he took me from B to A and my first ever top 5 overall finish in a regional 2hr off road race. He's the man behind Andrew Short and trained Anderson too. Plus he is an all around genuine great guy!

Thanks for chiming in Tim! If you have a chance to read my 2nd post in this thread ( 4th one down in this thread ) , could you maybe give me a little advice? Like what BVM111 posted above about " intreval training "...i get that , and am doing it in the 20min session....I just wanted to know if I did two sets , or two HIIT type workout's with a break in the middle , to simulate race days , if that would help? Or could help?

I'm a 48yr old male , and as of 5 weeks ago my resting heart rate was about 58bpm. I am now at around 49-50bpm and I think the cardio workouts are really helping. But I want to try pushing it up a few levels in intesity and possibly try the split session thing I was thinking about.

Jeffro, the short answer is yes, that will help. A better way to do it is not a short answer.
