I have been cycling now for about 3 weeks, my aim is the same as most really to shed a few excess pounds and get fitter.
My eventual goal is start commuting to work 18 miles each way.
I went for a bit of hill training last night, I don't have many good hills where I am so I found a small loop I could and ht a few hill repeats on it, I started out in the saddle spinning, next loop I changed to big gear out of the saddle, next loop i stayed in saddle powering the gear I just used out of the saddle.
Don't that for a couple of goes around then tried to stay in the saddle the whole time and use a bigger gear on each loop.
The hill isnt that steep at all nor is it long but I hit the loop about 15 times and clocked up about 10 miles in total.
My legs were shot afterwards.
So what hill training do you all do?
