Getting faster on your bike requires consistency and some dedication to both easy and hard sessions of training.

To develop as a cyclist, you need to focus the majority of your training on aerobic fitness.

The bulk of your training should be a lot of long easy rides at a conversational pace. These easy sessions build the aerobic foundation, which is an important way to produce energy for endurance sports.

We also need some very targeted hard sessions to train things like VO2Max and anaerobic capacity.

These hard sessions will be quite difficult and feel very uncomfortable in the moment, but they are extremely rewarding!
