Hey, Garrett here 👋
Let me put you on to something 95% of riders are doing completely wrong…
They think the key to getting faster is going hard every single day.
That mindset? It’s trashing their Central Nervous System (CNS)—the control center for all speed, coordination, strength, and reaction time.
The Fix: High/Low Training Model
Top pros use it. So should you.
Here’s how it works:
🔹 High Days = CNS-Heavy
These are your max output days—explosive, intense, and demanding:
-
Sprint intervals
-
Moto days
-
Max-effort gym lifts (squats, deadlifts, etc.)
-
High-intensity drills
🔹 Low Days = CNS-Light
These keep you moving and progressing without frying your system:
-
Core work
-
Assistance lifts
-
Bike skills/technique drills
-
Zone 2 cardio (heart rate ~60–70% max)
❌ The Mistake Most Riders Make
They stack high days back to back—never giving the CNS time to recharge.
The result?
Burnout, arm pump, slower lap times, poor sleep, and zero progression.
✅ Smarter Weekly Plan
Here’s a sample week following the High/Low model:
| Day | Focus | CNS Load |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday | Race Day | 🔥 High |
| Sunday | Recovery (stretch, walk) | 🧊 Low |
| Monday | Light gym, bike drills | 🧊 Low |
| Tuesday | Sprint intervals + motos | 🔥 High |
| Wednesday | Core + Zone 2 Cardio | 🧊 Low |
| Thursday | Moto Day (tech + intensity) | 🔥 High |
| Friday | Chill, prep, mental reset | 🧊 Low |
💥 Fueling = Faster Recovery
Without the right fuel, your body takes even longer to recover.
Here’s your recovery stack:
-
Before High Days:
☑️ Hydro Power Endurance Fuel
40g carbs + 1,000mg sodium for performance + hydration -
Add:
☑️ Ignite for energy, laser focus & arm pump relief -
Post-Ride:
☑️ Hydro Power Recovery Mix
20g protein + electrolytes to replenish muscle glycogen and bounce back quicker
Final Word
Ride smarter, not harder.
Fuel like a pro. Recover like a savage.
Your race weekend will feel completely different.
