The Importance of Off-biking Activities

Endurance athletes, particularly cyclists, often neglect strength and flexibility training in favor of time spent cycling. However, engaging in off-the-bike activities is crucial for maintaining overall body functionality and performance. Without this additional work, athletes may face a decline in their resilience and durability, resulting in potential injuries, particularly as they age. Strength, flexibility, stability, and mobility are foundational components that collectively support endurance performance and should be prioritized year-round, not just during the off-season.
