The Climber’s Plan on ROUVY can help you improve your climbing by building strength through torque on the pedals to help you keep a constant tempo on long, steep climbs. If your goal is to get better at climbing hills on a bike, let’s get started!
Indoor cycling training plan: CLIMB FASTER
The Climber’s Plan on the ROUVY indoor cycling app was designed for cyclists who want to improve their climbing skills and take their performance to a new level. To get better at climbing hills on a bike, follow these steps for four weeks.
WEEK #1
In the first week, you’ll take on three workouts designed to help you sustain higher intensity efforts for longer while climbing.
WEEK #2
In Week 2, you'll train for tempo endurance and strength, plus do some uphill attacking where you'll need to keep the pace.
WEEK #3
In Week 3, we repeat the workouts but increase the number and/or length of intervals. It may hurt, but no pain, no gain!
WEEK #4
As you finish Week 4, your strength will improve and maintaining the pace on hills will become more manageable. Keep going!
AFTER THE TRAINING PLAN: WHAT’S NEXT?
After completing this training plan, it's crucial to give your body the rest it needs. Enjoy a week of easy riding – either outdoors or on the ROUVY indoor cycling app – in zones 1 and 2, maintaining a steady cadence of 90 RPM. Remember, rest is just as important as training. Ignoring rest and recovery can lead to overtraining, so prioritize it.
