First off I want to be very clear this isn't a moan, I have perfect cycling terrain, however...
... Living in West Yorkshire I am surrounded by lots of short sharp climbs. Most of my 'training' is done on my commute to work which doesn't contain a single peice of flat land.
Whenever I read training plans they talk about intervals etc bbut how do people manage the recovary part when they are on a climb? Would I be best training by giving everything on the climbs then recovering on the descents?
How would you train when faced with a very hilly ride? (my commute is 10 miles each way with around 700 feet of climbing)

Yes, pace yourself well though so you don't blow up before you get to the top. And on the descents, obviously don't stop pedaling.CyclingBantam wrote:Would I be best training by giving everything on the climbs then recovering on the descents?CAPTAIN BUCKFAST'S CYCLING TIPS - GUARANTEED TO WORK! 1 OUT OF 10 RACING CYCLISTS AGREE!0
