What would Al Pacino say to these 2 cyclists training for a charity bike ride?

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 23:17:50 +0000

Cyclist #1 is training for a charity bike ride of 100 miles. After 4 weeks his progress is slowing and his motivation and enthusiasm is dropping.

He gets angry and cross with himself. He wants to complete the charity cycle. So he questions why this is happening. He knows he needs to get fitter and he cannot quit the plan. He pushes himself. Tries to force himself back to training. He talks to himself about it. He writes a list of targets. A list of goals…..

Cyclist #2 is training for the same charity cycle ride of 100 miles. He too has hit the 4 week “wall” and his motivation is at an all time low. He starts missing training.

His training partner calls him and asks what’s happening. He makes excuses. His training partner listens then tells him to get back to training. No excuses. No bull****, just start training again. He says they are a team and they train TOGETHER. That he is important to the team and he is missed…..

Which cyclist do you think completed their training and went on to success in the Century Bike Ride?

I leave you with an epic speech by Al Pacino which says everything you ever need to remember about the importance of having a team to back you up.

What can Sesame Street teach us about cycling fitness training?

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 10:25:35 +0000

Building your cycling fitness need not to be hard or a real effort. Find a routine that works for you and stick to it. Being regular and consistent is the key to it. How do you achieve this?

Well one solution is to find regular group programs that you can follow. It’s pretty tough to set out your own schedule and then stick to it day after day.

I train on the bike about 20 hours a week and I rock climb about 20 hours a week. As regards finding motivation to train I find it much tougher to get going on the bike than I do for rock climbing.

The reason I suspect is that when on the bike I train alone while I always boulder with lots of other people. Bouldering NEVER feels like training even when I’m doing very demanding “training exercises” (the climbing equivalent of “intervals”) whilst cycling often feels like training.

I think the lesson is to always do your training with other people. You will train harder. It will be more fun and perhaps you are more likely to stick with it.

I will leave you with Bert and Ernie from Sesame street getting to grips with a new exercise !

Does your cycling training lack direction? Frank Schleck has the answer for you

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 03:28:01 +0000

Understanding your cycling goals and fitness objectives is critical to achieving success. If you lack direction or purpose then the wheels will come off your plans.

Without a clear purpose depression and anxiety set in as you drift through lack of direction.

Even highly motivated and ambitious riders suffer if they feel they aren’t going well and their disappointment grows as their cycling performance drops.

The key is “never lose sight of your cycling goals” or let yourself be distracted for too long. If there is something that you really want… don’t talk or think yourself out of it. Keep you eyes on the road ahead and make it happen.

I leave you with a moment of madness from Frank Schleck when his eyes were definitely not on the road ahead. Enjoy !

Comedian Lee Evans shows you how willpower has made him a cycling legend

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 23:05:13 +0000

How strong is your will power? How committed are you to achieving your cycling goals? Are you prepared to sacrifice? Are you prepared to do whatever it takes?

Some people make out that willpower is the be all and end all. Have it and anything is possible. I don’t buy this.

To my mind willpower is NEVER enough. It always lets you down in the end. It’s a bit like “trying” to do something. In the long run these strategies end in failure.

If you don’t want to do something for it’s own sake then you are always left with bad feelings about it. You can only continue for so long on such a course. if you are “willing” yourself to do something then it is not truly aligned with your deep seated wants and desires.

Far better to align your objectives with your what you do “REALLY WANT TO DO” then no willpower is necessary. Nothing will stand in your way. You won’t drag your feet. You will be first in line to get the job done.

I leave you with a fantastic cycling sketch by Lee Evans who is undoubtedly following his passion and true calling as a track cyclist.

kettle bell training for cycling. Extend your cycling training schedule

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 04:08:08 +0000

Weight training to improve cycling performance is critical. It is an often neglected part of a cyclists training. This is surprising when you consider the emphasis put upon it in other similar sports training such as rowing.

For example an international rower will complete 3-5 weights sessions per week in addition to all rowing specific training. In addition to lifting free weights and more traditional weight training strategies that might benefit a cyclist.

I came across this excellent video about alternative training exercises including kettle bell training. It is unorthodox but I feel that it would provide excellent off season core and strength training for cyclists.
