Got Cycling Training Questions? Ask Away!

by Jesper Bondo Medhus on November 13, 2008

Every week readers send me questions via e-mail, which I answer individually. I believe that most of these questions have interest for a wider audience than just one single person. Thus, I would like to post some of these reader questions in a weekly post for a beginning. I’m gonna answer specific reader questions every friday from now on, if you have questions on your mind, feel free to use the form below.

First blog post with questions and answers will be on the 21st of November.

Hi, I am a 59 y/o, 6’3″, 178lb cyclist. I am trying to increase my avg mph during rides. I live in Colorado and train hills and flats. I usually ride with men/women who are in their 30′s and 40′s and we are always separated by at least 2-3 mph.

I can do mountain rides like the Triple Bypass so the distance is never the question up to 120 miles. It is just speed over that distance.

Is it realistic at my age that I can beef up my overall speed up hills and try to keep up with the pack? I am lost as far as what to use for training methods that will give me the biggest bang for the buck.

Thanks.>>>Ed
