Base Training

[crazycanuck]

Hey RR,

I can't answer the questions you asked as i'm not an expert
This might help? http://www.ausport.gov.au/information

Berocca might actually help with energy. I'm curious about how much energy it will give you.

What about Endura products?? http://www.endura.com.au/content/?id=9#NZ

Here's a copy of a post I added in response to li10up's query re off-season training:

Page 16 of this Hammer Nutrition newsletter has an article entitled, "Off-Season Exercise: Aerobic or Anaerobic?" and on page 21, "Building Your Base."

Hope these help!

The archives have loads of information regarding training. I highly suggest purusing them as you have time.

Somehow I completely missed that post - thanks for hooking me up to the articles

I have pages loading - thanks so much, Michele... looks really interesting and useful

UGH! That should have been "perusing," not "purusing!" Sorry for the typo. I've been spending this rainy, rainy morning "perusing" the archives myself. Wish I was out on my bike though! I know we need the rain, but why can't it come during the week rather than on weekends???

Thanks CC


The endura stuff looks more like a recovery option... electrolyte replacement etc. And the base-training is not high intensity so probably don't need this option.

I searched the ASC research site under "b" for bikes and base training, under "c" for cycling, and "r" for road racing...

Nothing... badminton... croquet... roller sport... yes, but nothing obviously bike related - and yet I knew it must be there as I have read research outcomes from this institute ...

So I clicked on "Find Sport information" - eureka!! There is cycling! I'll have a little mouse-about and check out the info, and the links they have there and see what I can find

Cheers, my friend
