Training the Body Starts With the Nervous System
Before the sun came up this morning, I was already preparing.
Not just my legs.
Not just my lungs.
Not just my mind.
My nervous system.
Today, Peter and I completed a mock attempt for our upcoming world record, riding the full 100 kilometres without stopping. The goal was to establish our pace, test our strategy, and create a real baseline for what our bodies can do when it matters.
Days like this remind me that performance begins long before you get on the bike.
One of the most important parts of my morning routine throughout Peak2Peak has been NuCalm. This morning, before training, I put on my headphones and listened to a NuCalm Rescue track.
For me, it is a chance to become quiet, settle my system, and feel like every part of me is coming back into alignment before I ask my body to perform.
NuCalm describes Rescue as neuroacoustic technology designed to guide the brain toward alpha and theta ranges and support a parasympathetic, rest-and-recovery state. I love thinking about it as tuning an instrument before asking it to play something extraordinary.
Because a world record attempt isn’t only about how hard Peter and I can pedal.
It is about how well we can prepare, recover, regulate, focus, and perform when the moment arrives.
Today was 100 kilometres without stopping.
A baseline.
A rehearsal.
A chance to learn.
And one more step toward the starting line of our world record attempt.
The body may do the riding, but everything begins with the state we bring to the bike.
