After reading a few of the main books on cycling training and finding them a bit hard to relate to and short of time in a world with a job, kids and all the other things called life I decided to spend a little money and get a coach to help put together a training program aimed at the upcoming road season.
Hopefully this will teach me how to create an effective training regimen and see some improvement throughout the next season.
Up until this point outside of races its been a case of doing whatever I (or others that I ride with) felt like. While I certainly have got better over time some structure is needed if I am going to progress.
About Me
- rouleur
- Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
- Spent the last couple of years getting back on the bike. In that time I've got some fitness happening, lost a fair bit of weight and done a few of the big participation rides. After half a season racing D grade at Southern Vets and a few crits with SKCC and Caulfield Carnegie its time to get a bit more serious about cycling. So with some help I am now training for the winter road season. The aim is to realise as much of my potential as a road cyclist within the constraints of a fulltime job and raising two girls. This blog will keep track of my training and racing over summer 2007 and into 2008. It may wander off onto other topics but hopefully I'll wander back on topic again.
