Incorporating cycling into conditioning

Post by Barkadion »

I am getting new road bike for this summer and planning to incorporate it into my TB training. I did cycle a lot in the past (~7 years ago) and I want to get back to it. Just want to ask your advice on your experience with cycling and TB.

I think that I can easily substitute LSS running with cycling. Not sure the best way to address it for HIC.

I train in very early morning starting ~ 4:30AM-5AM and I will be riding around my place which is 100% hilly asphalt roads. Planning to do another rounds of Fighter Bangkok Green around summer time.

Any advice on different cycling drills is appreciated!!

Cheers, gents.

I think cycling is a great substitute for LSS runs. Just removing the pounding is worth it. For HIIT work I use my indoor roller. Trying to get even work and rest intervals is tough out on the road. And after getting hit by a car while on a hard triathlon training ride I try to keep road work easy and remain alert to traffic. I do have a park and track I go to. I can go hard and not worry about hazards as much.

Like women and beer, the key to cardio is variety.
