Riding Faster for Longer - Great article for beginners

Bhima

Thought i'd post this in here and not the training forum because it's a really good article which explains things very simply. I was looking for something like this ages ago but ended up going the long way round and learning about the more complicated stuff first. :oops:

Sorry if it's been posted before. (I did search!)

I can hold about 33-34 mph for a seated 1-minute sprint and can hold 27-29 mph in a 10-mile sprint, 25-26 mph in an OD, and 23 or so in IM.

Now, you may not be able to hold these speeds. Not yet, anyway. This is what I’m going to try to help you learn to do. This article will provide you with some strategies that may help you get there.

I will try and fathom what it means by reading it about a hundred times but for now this part will definately come in useful:

In other words, training fast and adapting to training fast will help you to race fast
