I'm just getting into riding again. Commuting to work the other day was so much fun I decided I'm gonna start going on longer rides as long as it doesn't interfere with my weight training.
Anyway, i don't think there's a c25k style program for cycling. There's really not a need. There's no limiting factor when it comes to riding continuously like there is running. Buuuut. How do you get better as a complete beginner?
For todays ride, I took it easy. I made sure I was capable of singing (Don't you want me, baby? *gasp gasp gasp* Don't you want me? Oh! *gasp gasp*) whilst riding - as long as no one was around. Ride was around an hour, averaged 19.9km/h, but I had a head wind for 75% of the ride unfortunately. Do I keep doing this for awhile (easy, fairly short distance) rides for awhile until my aerobic capacity is built up a little more and then throw in sprint training, intervals, long sessions, short all outs?
Not really training for anything specific. Although there's a sprint tri or a TT that I could possibly do after I finish training for my powerlifting meet. I just gotta go faster, harder or further with everything I do.
