Thanks for posting this topic-You've answered my question basically from my other thread...
[QUOTE][One of the best ways to get faster on your mtb is to spend more time training on your road bike. Most good mtb'ers spend about 80% of their training time on the road because mtb riding is not a consistent aerobic effort (you go hard, you coast, you go hard, you coast, you stop, you go hard, etc). To go faster, you first need to build a large aerobic base and the best way to do that is to log long, consistent road miles at low- to mid-range intensity. After you've built an aerobic base, you can work on specific high-intensity workouts to improve your high-end fitness./QUOTE]
Thank you!
Now, if one does not have a trainer & spinerval videos and don't want to go that route what should i be doing on my road bike then???
Do i stay in the big ring?
I'm a bit confused and am wondering if i'm doing the right things while on my night rides....
Is 40-50km too short a ride to work on these skills??? (this is my night ride-it's dark by the time i go out)
