training

[Stephen Blair]

I've got a Carlton Professional in my shed, had it from new - although I wouldn’t ride it now as the lug work would probably fall to pieces!

 

Cadence – ride at a fairly high tempo, i.e. don’t use the big gears – too many people use huge gearing and bugger their knees up. If you use a low gear, it’ll work your heart and lungs at a much better rate (you’ll reduce body weight quicker too)

 

i am going to phone my old PE teacher and give him a piece of my mind, natural ability my bum:blushing:

Spin small gears and you,ll burn more fat than going flat out everywhere. Youre a naturally big built bloke John so dont try and lose to much to soon or you,ll feel tired at work.

One good thing about cycling – You’ll be able to crush walnuts with your arse-cheeks – Great trick at parties!

by yourself a mog mate, all the worry about huge payments and breakdowns will keep out the pubs and you wont be able to eat working 24hrs a day:cursing:

Personally I would say that you should cut back on any physical exercise outside of work especially if you was going to start climbing often.

 

If your getting quite knackerd while your climbing then if you did a 10 mile bike ride the night before you really are going to feel it. Your legs will be jelly in no time.

 

Eat well, get plenty of sleep, keep climbing and youll start getting used to it quickly enough.

I disagree with the above, your body will adapt very quickly to the cycling. I cycle 15 miles into work, climb, then cycle 15 miles back again. Your sex life might suffer though as you’ll be asleep before you hit the pillow!
