Ensuring the correct timing of your training

Correct Timing for CyclingOne of the most important ingredients toperforming well on the bike is choosing what training you do when.
Most people DON’T get the foundations rightand when they try to build their training up, the walls come crashing down around them.
You’ve got to think of your body like an engine. There are certain systems in your body that need to be trained first before you jump in and try to get other systems working.
A good analogy is to imagine you want to build a fast race engine for a car.
Before you would begin bolting on parts that make the engine go fast, you need to work on the existing block to make sure it is strong enough to handle the horsepower.
Once you know that this foundation is solid then you can bolt in a nice cam, a big carband a turbo knowing that the rest of the engine can handle it.
If you made a choice to bolt a turbo and go-fast parts on a standard engine that was not correctly prepared, you couldn’t expect it to go as fast as it potentially should. Even worse, it is likely to break down and damage the engine when pushed hard.
You must ensure you’re timing the type of cycling training you’re doing correctly tosee maximum results.

6 Specific Cycling Climbing Sessions

Being able to climb well is often times an enigma of sorts. Even if you feel like you are going OK, your true form is shown on the mountains. As is often seen on the big climbs at the tour.
Being able to climb well is a combination of physical condition (including your weight) and mental strength. Both need active attention if you’re going to be in the front group on your next ride or race.
The thing is, many guys don’t consider themselves climbers, so don’t bother training hard on the climbs. I disagree most of the time. Most bike races don’t finish on a climb. As a result, you just need to be able to hang on up the climbs and you’re in with a shot. So even if you don’t consider yourself a climber, you should be actively training on the climbs.
Out of this thinking, we decided to put together 6 specific climbing “secret sessions” that we’ve used in the past to help with our climbing. These sessions are pretty tough, however, we’ve found them yielding great results.
These are now available to all MyCycling customers to download in the members area. If you’re not yet a customer, consider signing up here.
