training for 45 mile ride
i'm really new to cycling...just got a bike less than 1 week ago. in order to motivate myself to train, i signed up for a 45 mile ride for August 26th. i've been training everyday and doing the right things from a nutrition standpoint (i think - i played football in college and used to run cross country).
with 10 days to go, any suggestions on a daily ride to better prepare? should i try to ride 45 prior to the event or just focus on shorter routes and riding them more effective. |

Re: training for 45 mile ride
I'm probably the last person who should be chiming in here, but here it goes:
You're not going to improve your level of fitness too much in two weeks, so just ride with what you are comforatable with. If it's just a 45 mile group ride for some cause or another, there will be a lot of people who ride at all kinds of speeds. You said you are athletic, so you shouldn't have a problem completing it. If you want to ride 45 miles before hand, I say go for it, but it's not going to be entirely pleasant your first time doing it. I guess that's the idea, though. Do what you're comforatable with until you get back into the swing of things. Increase your mileage if you feel good. Good luck. |
