andrewbell Posted January 30, 2008 Share Does anyone do any speed training, if so how often do you do it and what are the major benefits of this kind of training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swift Posted January 30, 2008 Share I do speed work, on and off the bike... try to do it once a week if i can. Even if it's a fast ride with a few mates, with a few sprints here and there... I come from a track athletics background, and i have kept up some of the training i used to do when i was doing 400m and 200m. The thing is when you just cycle, i find you lose the 'natural springs' in your muscles. Running, gym and ply-metrics help to improve this. Running will help cycling, but not the other way round...

gianni Posted January 30, 2008 Share wait for a truck and jump in behind it.........or start small with a tractor alternatively find a friend with a Vespa and lots of patience and ask him to motorpace you around the place.gianni2008-01-30 10:59:26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cling Posted January 30, 2008 Share Now I am confused. Gianni refers to legspeed (methinks) training as in motorpacing and for andrewbell speed training = high intensity training? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianni Posted January 30, 2008 Share me thinks the question was confusing but sitting behing a truck / vespa etc is pretty high intensity too.....:-)gianni2008-01-30 11:05:01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swift Posted January 30, 2008 Share Remember when your mother said 'go play in the traffic!' when you were young... now is your chance. Try jump on behind a car every now and then. CAREFUL THOUGH!! I was with a mate who tried to do it once, and he lost his chain as he stood up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
