Boost Your Strength, Speed and Stamina

Sooner or later every athlete will ask, how can I take my training to the next level?  For beginners and experienced riders alike, the answer to this question is usually a simple one: more training!  Or so it seems that this is the solution that will take our training to new heights.  But more is not always better, in fact, and by concentrating our efforts simply on more distance or time, we may be doing more harm than good.  In the very least, we are ignoring one of the most effective training techniques available, interval training.

This type of workout represents a somewhat more advanced entry into our training arsenal, but one that all riders, regardless of experience, can safely and easily incorporate into their own programs.  It is one of the most effective methods for building cycling strength, speed and stamina, and as such, should become a mainstay in your training plans.  While there may be no replacement for those weekly long rides that are of course critical in every rider’s race preparations, intervals will help make even those miles fly by faster and easier.

This report builds upon the training foundations that we’ve established in our “Base Training Guide“.  Here, we will concentrate on the main types of interval training, explain the benefits of using intervals, and most importantly, we’ll show you how to incorporate them into any new or existing training regimen for maximum effect.
