Granfondos always start too fast. The leaders want to get away and everybody else wants to ride with people slightly faster than themselves. So if you want to get a good result, you too have to start too fast. If you don’t, most of the other riders at your level will be in front working together and you will never catch them. But if you overdo it and keep going too hard for too long, you will blow up and find yourself overtaken by weaker riders. So how to get this right?
Marvin Faure, coach and founder of Granfondo coaching specialist Alpine Cols, explains how to work out for yourself how fast you should start at your next Granfondo.
