Most of all "beginner" programs is made from a professional , and they dont think beginner. Most beginners have to get use to sit on a racing sadle and cant go one hour 3-6 times pr week. If you are a beginner, start slowly, get some help to adjust your bike and get use to sit in sadle, first after a couple of weeks with maybe 10-15 min – 30 min 3 times pr week, you are ready to a "beginner" program….
What training program (ie Trainer Road, Zwift, or ?) would you recommend for 70 y/o male in v good health (long distance hiker) and just getting into cycling (for fitness; group & indoor trainer rides; prob no racing)? Thx
Loving my bike>>>ur2.pl/1144. It was quite easy to assemble, no issues at all. I followed a YouTube video about assembling it and that helped a lot. Only small issue is that moving it around is a bit of a drag because you can only bend the bike to a certain angle to be able to move the bike around, which to me isn't the best angle since i have to be constantly moving it. Wish the wheel was a bit larger or situated further back so one could bend it further out and make it easier to move around. Other than that, i have no issues.
this is very good advice I've been riding my bike since 1991, did triathlons for 17 years, and never had a power meter, do I have to have a power meter in order to go longer, harder, faster?
Beginners don't need to worry about what's and power . They need to start of with small regular rides then keep building up and up . More miles and more time on their bikes until the start getting to a good standard of fitness . Then they might start to think about watts per kilo . They need to have a goal . Are they wanting to road race ? If so then they need to join a local cycling club . Then if they start getting strong then they can find a good coach to take them even further . Every thing should be done at one step at a time . Master the basics first . I just think to much info just confusing for the new riders . Takes years of dedication and sacrifices to become a good rider . It's probably the toughest sport on the planet
How about a beginners outdoor training plan. How to create a scrap beginners programs prior to the professional programs. Something that will carry you through beginner to intermediate.
I wish I'd have had access to a video like this when I first started riding a few years ago. Great info in this one.
Training is not a complex thing. A simple 6 day program would be the best way to start out. If you are not in tune with you body and what it is trying to tell you then no matter what training or training aids you have they are not going to give you the desired result.Training for a first or any season goes like this:
1) Base milage. Without this your body will not be able sustain any training effort imposed upon it.
2)Set up the week for training
Monday – Rest day ( Always without exception)
Tuesday – Sprint training
Wednesday – Short interval training
Thursday – Long interval training day
Friday – Combine all of the above with some distance
Saturday – An easy distance ride
Sunday – Race day!
Of course this is a basic example but can be built upon to suite your needs. Then there is the art of peaking for certien races, but that is a whole nother story.
Anyone just staring out, don't worry if u r not able to hit 2 w/kg. I was a heavy guy with no fitness level whatsoever, after figuring out watts and ratios…. my number was only .6watts per kg. No, there is no number missing, only .6 w/kg. After a year of training with power and focusing on my cadence ( not worrying about power) I'm at 2.0w/kg. Again don't worry about starting point, it will be what it will be, just start and work on it.
Chad, another good video…..thx Ron
great video…but what about some of us cannot afford a power meter would you suggest a heart rate monitor?
Another great video! What do you do for weight training, any core exercises? That might be a good video to do.
Great Advice!! Today i did My first indoor ride
