IM training in aerobars?

19 Mar 2009

Hello everyone,

How much of one's cycling IM training time should be spent in the aerobars vs upright on the bull-horn bars? Does this vary by workout type (intervals vs long rides, etc)? How much of my training time should be on my racing tri bike vs my winter fixie? These questions have always perplexed me. Thoughts?

Aerobic base training in the off-season

07 Feb 2009
by: athlete365
with:

What type of cycling workouts are best for off-season triathlon training (January to March)?

Specifically, for someone who competes in the sprint / Olympic distances.

Should I just be doing longer rides in zone 1 and 2?

Can I begin to do harder intervals this early without burning out before I actually get out on the road in April?

Any help would be appreciated.

Aero Bar Angle

04 Nov 2008

Is there a proper angle that you should have you aero bars at? I purchased a used tri bike a while back and over time I've been making tweaks so it fits me well. So far so good except for the aero bars. I have them set fairly level but it almost feels as if they should be angled slightly down. Is there a 'proper angle' or is it more about the individual fit?

First 24 Hour Race Coming Up

I'm jumping from my first MTB race and Sprint Tri into a 24 Hour race. I'll be reading threads in the Nutrition forum for tips on pre-race and race-day nutrition, but thought I'd open a quick dialogue on training.

Hi, back from biking in Italy

Hi all, I said I'd post when we returned from our cycling trip. We got back this week from biking in Italy, which was fantastic. For anyone who loves cycling, Italy is just a great country to go to. We had a terrific time biking with the kids, did 165 miles through Tuscany with them on the tandem bikes, totally self-supporting pulling all of our gear. they are definitely hooked on cycle touring too now!

Cadence New York City

06 Oct 2008
by: kscel

Has anyone ever used Cadence in NYC? I'm a pretty good cyclist and average about 23mph but have never been properly taught to ride. Do you think they could help with positioning, form, etc? Worth the money? Has anyone ever done individual coaching or the classes?

Check In

Time for another check in for me. Since my 70.3 in June I've been trying to get focused on letting my sciatica issue clear and work on my cycling. So, I've been riding pretty much 5-6 days a week and working on core and flexibility to give the sciatica a rest. I love it, been road cycling and mountain biking for the most part. I love the mountain bike. Been doing 3-4 rides through the trails by the house and it's some good stuff. My cycling and fitness in general has much improved over the 6 weeks since that's been my focus.
