Following our general web research on endurance training, the marvellous book 'Endurance' became useful reference material. The book charts the quite incredible story of the explorer Ernest Shackleton and his team in the Antarctic in 1914. Bloody awful time they had, but they all made it back home alive. Leaving aside the inspiring nature of the tale, Shackleton was a relatively inexperienced mountain-biker, so for our bike-specific training we have improvised a bit and looked for alternative strategies beyond letting our lives ebb slowly away in a frozen, deserted wasteland.
