struggling to get bike fit.

Felix-da-house-mouse

i started cycling last summer and i am really struggling with my bike fitness/endurance partly because i don't do enough cycling long days at work plus i work sat mornings i dont commute as where i work i'd be worried about damage happening to the bike as i work for an agricultural suppliers and we dont have any bike sheds etc. But i really need to get a training regime going, does anyone have any training plans/ guides for getting that base fitness level going upwards?

cheers

The only way for another to provide a bespoke training plan for an individual is to discuss in some detail the hopes and aspirations, training hours available, current strengths and weaknesses etc. etc. with that individual.

For that you need a coach.

On the other hand for a beginner you can gain all the information you need to get started by reading this forum and the fitness articles on this web site plus other web sites which on the whole provide excellent advice. I quite like this one as it gets the message across without blinding you with too much science:

So my advice would be to work out what you want to do with your bike riding and then you can train accordingly. Joining a club would be a positive step in the right direction.

Tabata Protocol looks interesting for the time constrained.
