Subject: RE: Run more = run faster, bike more = bike faster?my experinces being newer to the sport.
in my first season i rode 60-90 miles per week, hard in some stuff, and ave 20-22.7 in races.
next season i did morel ike 100-130, ave 21-23 or so.
this past season i upped that to about 200 or so per week during better weeks, with mod amount of real hard stuff and a lot of tempo, started ave 24-26 in the in the courses without a million turns and top 2 off the bike in anything under half irons.
the distance/frequency did it for me more than intensity. now, if you can do both, then you will see the magic.
i am now comfortable riding harder much more often, i see tempo in almost all my rides, and TT pace at least twice a week when i am outside. i am already faster on the bike with minimal riding than i was at peak last year.
ride more, and ride hard, often, and you will get there. |
