3 Essential Bike Workouts For Triathletes/Cyclists

In today’s episode we are exploring the best training sessions on the bike to make you a well rounded rider.

 

Last week we spoke about what we believe to be the best value running session, and today we’re going to really go into detail about what sessions could help you become a better cyclist.

 

Obviously there’s not one stand alone session that’s going to magically ride like our man ‘Wow’ Van Aert, however Van Aert is someone that leaves clues as to what you could do to make you a stronger overall rider.

 

After all, he has won stages in the Tour de France in a time trial, in a sprint AND up one of the hardest mountain stages. So what does he do that we could model? 

 

Keys to the episode:

• What data to look at if your power fails you
• Why you need to be careful looking at a power meter on a new bike
• Our favourite type of cycling session (not necessarily the “best”!)
• The most valuable session for a triathlete
• The most essential session for a cyclist
• The type of training the best cyclists in the world do
• The biggest strength of TriVelo athletes
• Why you should aim to be a “well-rounded” rider (at the risk of being a “jack of all trades but master of none”!)
