British CX Champ Bets On 'Traditional Training'

- James Shrubsall

National cyclo-cross champion Ian Field hopes that a diet of traditional long miles and altitude training in his season build-up will help him achieve his goal of climbing the world rankings in the coming months.

The 31-year-old Hargroves Cycles rider, who was 24th at the opening World Cup round at the weekend — the Jingle CX in Iowa City — completed two high-altitude training blocks in Andorra this summer, interspersed with 300-mile-plus training weeks.
