Re: [RC] Training to 'top ten' - rides2far'To top ten - you train at top ten speeds' I totally disagree. For my horses to top 10 I trained consistantly but conservatively most of the time, then added high heart rates on hills. I've never ridden with anyone who trained "top 10 speeds" consistantly. If I did it my horses would all be lame before I ever got to a ride. I've had a win & BC on one horse, and a win/high vet score on another, on both I was very careful to find somewhere with good footing for our speed work and we did do some, but never headed out on a 12 mile trail with tricky footing and let it rip. That's a chance I'd only take on race day. Angie =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
