Hi guys, fairly new at cycling and was wondering how often a week I should ride the bike?
Id like to do more endurance races then shorter sprint ones.
What would you guys recommend me doing to get greater endurance?
I feel like I am training myself for failure right now and id like your help please
This past week my training was like this
Day one: ride at 80-90% of max hb for an hour and thirty min.... and chest, core workout
Day two: swimming laps in pool fairly hard for 30 min... and bicep, back, calf workout
Day three: Doing 30 sec sprints every two min for 45 min total... and full leg workout, besides calfs
Day four: Swimming laps in pool fairly hard again for 40 min... and tricep, shoulder workout.
Today was day five and my legs were DEAD on the bike. I pushed through as much as I could in thirty min. but it was pretty hard.
I would like to compete in races by this time next year and was wondering how I should go about a weekly endurance training?
Am i overkilling? underkilling?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and God Bless
