Stronger legs help cyclists produce more power, resist fatigue, and stay injury-free. One or two simple strength sessions per week - focused on squats, hinges, and single-leg work—can significantly improve your riding performance.

Plyometric leg exercises turn strength into explosive power by training you to absorb force and spring back quickly. With controlled jumps and landings, you build reactive strength, better stability, and faster acceleration that carries over to sport and cycling.

You’ve spotted VO2 max on your wearable. It looks official. It changes. Your friend’s is higher. Now you’re wondering whether you’ve been accidentally living as an endurance athlete or as a houseplant.

Triathlon is basically three sports stapled together and fuelled by one main thing: carbohydrates. Carbs aren’t a moral issue; they’re logistics. You’re not “being good” by cutting them; you’re just quietly sabotaging your swim, bike, and run.

Most cyclists focus on power and equipment, but overlook breathing. Learning to breathe more efficiently can make hard efforts feel smoother, improve pacing, and help you hold power longer – with simple techniques you can practise on any ride, indoors or out.

Hydration isn’t just about drinking water. This article explains why electrolytes matter for cyclists and how choosing the right ones can help you ride stronger, feel better, and avoid fading on indoor sessions, outdoor rides, and race day.

Start preparing for hot-weather cycling now. With early heat adaptation, smart hydration habits and structured indoor training, you’ll hit summer ready to ride strong and stay cool while others overheat.

Pedalling efficiency is the quiet upgrade most riders overlook. A few simple cadence drills can smooth your stroke, reduce wasted energy and make every ride feel faster and easier - indoors or out.

Many riders get stuck in the “grey zone” - training hard enough to feel tired but not hard or easy enough to improve. Escaping this middle ground with structured easy and intense work is the key to real progress on ROUVY.
