It’s event week! Some top tips from Tim at Ventouro our training and coaching partner

Written By Kim Manunui

Training can be a lot like drinking: to have a great time you need to know when to stop.

In the week leading up to the event, you can do more to undermine your training than you can to enhance it. Yet, just like that “one more” drink, it’s the prospect of getting a little extra something that gets you in trouble.

A week of great sleep, easy spins and good food will ensure you’re rested for event day, but to be fresh you need some intense workouts.

This may seem counterintuitive but tapering is all about reducing the overall training workload while maintaining just enough stimulus to keep the body primed and ready to go.

Reducing your training load is as simple as cutting back on the hours and km's, and also reducing your pace.

If your rides are normally 90 minutes, this week they’re 60. Hour-long rides go to 45 minutes. They don’t have to be complete recovery rides, but you need to resist the urge to test yourself every time you go out.

The fitness is there, but you have to trust it!

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
