Elite Racers Haley Smith and Andrew L’Esperance Train Indoors Through Winter

Canadian off-road racers Haley Smith and Andrew L’Esperance train indoors through winter when weather makes outdoor riding difficult.

They are partners on and off the bike and aim to ride at similar times in their basement.

Smith uses targeted sessions with efforts such as threshold blocks and muscular endurance work.

L’Esperance often does longer Zone 2 intervals or over-and-under efforts, adjusting them to his goals and the time of year.

Their indoor setups include Wahoo KICKR trainers, along with accessories such as a desk and an adjustable fan.

The trainers let them maintain structured workouts and keep training consistent when conditions limit outdoor riding.

They use indoor sessions to prepare for off-road racing, and say they also motivate each other by riding together.

The account does not describe a specific next step beyond continuing their training through the winter.
