Rockrabbit Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 I tend to do short 15km high intensity rides with lots of climbing and fast descents.Often my heart rate is sustained at over 90% and sometimes even just over 100% for short bursts. I tend to ride as fast as possible all the time. Is it wise to exercise like this or should I consider taking it a bit easier? Are there any benefits to this kind of training apart from the Adrenalin rush? Cheers !
Cycling Major Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Balls to the walls!!! All out if you can And ensure you do longer rides over weekend just to get the legs and backside use to the hours
Bateleur1 Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 It depends on your training goals. If you planning on doing a 100 km race you should also spend time doing longer distances. You are doing power training to some extent but no endurance training.

Actually - I guarantee that what you think is 100% is not 100%.... so all your percentages are off.
lerouc Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 i used to go balls to the walls all the time when on a bike and i was told not to do it. rather do controlled intervals and some days just go for easy rides etc. but i am no kenner so i just go out to enjoy myself these days.

mrcg Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Whew, this is exactly why we have amongst the best trails and conditions in the world BUT very few top riders emerging to be world beaters. We train awfully wrong! No plans with scientific input, no recovery rides, no proper goals......balls to the wall is utter rubbish.It's only a question of time til you blow.....Ok, it's "only" 15km so should be fun and exciting. Not much can go wrong, right? Wrong? Eventually....Invest a little time and money and hook up with a coach who will discuss your goals with you and make some training plans for you to achieve what you want (and no, it doesn't have to be to race).I've worked with Swen Lauer (from Germany) - has the credentials and knows his stuff (currently training Jennie Stenerhag and Esther Suess for Epic). Give it a bash........or go till you blow.ps same goes for skills training - just saying good luck
