I got my "hints" from the Iron Butt page: www.ironbutt.com and, from that
page, click on the link to "Archive of Wisdom". The Iron Butt page is for
long distance riders and has a lot of good information. Their suggestions
don't really address your question about exercise but they are valuable,
nonetheless. I followed their advice, particularly in terms of drinking
lots of water and eating appropriately (for LD riding). Also, I took the
supplement MSM beginning a week before I started my 24/1000 ride and
continued taking it during the ride. There will be opinions, yes and no,
about taking this so I suggest doing your own research (or the usual "don't
sue me caveat" of check with your doctor...).
I rode with a water bladder so I could drink water steadily throughout the
ride. I felt no pain, very little stiffness, and was more than ready to
begin the rally that followed my 24/1000 ride so something must have worked
for me, and my guess is that the water and eating patterns were the most
important things.
For exercise? Ride a lot ahead of time!
