      Home / Todd's Blog / MAYBE WE SHOULD ALL BE TRAINING LIKE BMX RACERS?
      Mar 29, 2025

      MAYBE WE SHOULD ALL BE TRAINING LIKE BMX RACERS?

      MAYBE WE SHOULD ALL BE TRAINING LIKE BMX RACERS?

      ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE RACERS, is the great John Tomac. He came up through BMX, dominated the MTB scene, XC and DH, started crushing the roadies...

      ... eventually racing in Europe with the Motorola road squad.

      How did he do that?

      Locally, some of the very best racers I've battled...

      • superior sprinters
      • excellent bike handlers
      • calm as cucumbers slicing and dicing crits

      ... trace their roots back to BMX.

      What do BMXers do...

      ...  over and over again?

      30-40 second all out sprints.

      Not,
      let's go fast.

      Ride it like you stole,
      lightning starts.

      I thought about that as I cooled down,
      close to home.

      The ride was fast,
      and I'd felt great.

      Best I've felt all year.

      Confirmed by a few of PRs, on Starva.

      I think my Power Spikes sessions...

      • all out
      • 10-20 seconds
      • lots of rest in between

      ... are starting to pay dividends

      Over the course of about 2 hours, 
      I'll get in 20-30 sprints with
      tons of rest in between.

      Maybe I was inspired by this outstanding collaboration we are doing with the one and only...

      ... Radical Rick!
