Training

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.

Spinning classes are a powerful entry point into cycling-based fitness – but only if you use them correctly. Learn how to improve posture, manage resistance and find your rhythm so every spin session supports better performance, comfort and long-term progress.

Want a fresh way to boost endurance without piling stress on your legs? Swimming is one of the smartest forms of cross training for cyclists, improving aerobic fitness, breathing control and recovery. We’re taking a deep dive into the best ways to pair pool sessions with structured indoor rides on ROUVY for stronger, more consistent performance.

Your fitness doesn’t have to take a backseat when life keeps you off the road. With a smart mix of indoor cycling training, strength work, cross-training and fun movement, you can stay fit even when you can’t ride outside.

Base building sets the ceiling for your entire season, yet many cyclists repeat the same early-season training mistakes year after year. This guide highlights the base-building mistakes holding you back, explains what to avoid during base training, and shows how aerobic base cycling, progressive overload, and consistent base riding create a training plan that actually delivers results.

You can tell a lot about a cyclist by how they talk about being tired. Some say it with a shrug. Some say it with a quiet sense of pride. And some say it with that hollow-eyed determination of a rider who has been pretending their legs will magically bounce back tomorrow.

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.

Looking to crank up your cycling performance without spending extra hours in the saddle? Deadlifts might be your missing weapon. By building the posterior-chain strength that cycling neglects, they improve power, posture and resilience – giving you a stronger, snappier ride in every discipline.

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.
