Indoor vs outdoor cycling training comes down to the difference between riding in a controlled environment and riding in the real world, where terrain, weather, traffic, and bike handling all affect the session.

Struggling with stubborn belly fat? Cycling can help. Explore training strategies, fueling tips and workouts that help cyclists burn more fat, ride stronger and stay consistent year-round.

Can lacing up your running shoes actually boost your cycling performance – or is it a fast track to injury? Discover the real pros and cons of mixing kilometres on foot with time in the saddle, and learn how to strike the right balance.

A 100-mile ride is achievable with steady training, smart pacing, and consistent fuelling - turning a big challenge into a rewarding day out.

After his father’s heart attack, Lionel faced his own poor fitness head-on. Starting at 2.0 W/kg, he rebuilt step by step through structured indoor training - gaining nearly 100 watts and completing a 1,300 km ultra-distance MTB race. Proof that improvement after 50 is absolutely possible.

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.

FTP is more than just a number – it’s a powerful way to measure fitness, set training zones and track progress. Discover what counts as a good FTP for cyclists, how gender and age influences FTP, and what it really takes to improve your cycling power.
