Knighthood is a quest that will require more mental fortitude than physical aptitude. If you’ve done 3 to 5 videos back to back at some point in the month leading up to a Knighthood attempt then you will be ready. My suggestion is to ride in Level mode and to start off with your targets across the board dropped by 85%. Starting off in Erg mode or at a higher than 90% intensity range is a recipe for unnecessary suffering. Of course this will be some level of suffering required to succeed, but you don’t want to get there too soon! Here are a few example slides from a presentation that I gave some time ago. Effectively, in order to do a single epic session, you don’t need to accumulate lots of epic sessions along the way. Providing just enough stress and rest in your training to allow you to be able to complete the task without injuring yourself is a good way to think about it! In preparation, often less is more.
