Hi all,
I’ve been working towards climbing ability where possible but recently been encountering long weekday hours accompanied with many Sundays (which are my club ride days) working away.
Any recommendations on what to do to try keep whatever gains I’ve made and look at improving? Alas it’s usually way too dark when I start and finish right now and I’ve currently resorted to gym spin classes and personal interval sessions on the spin bikes with a few road hours here and there when time allows.
Whilst I guess I’m keeping a decent enough level of fitness with the classes I’m worried about losing my distance ability whilst still climbing well (currently happy to do 50ish lumpy miles at around 14-15mph).
Any tips for keeping speed up over longer hilly miles when time is tight? Ideally anecdotal stuff.
