CYCLING TRAINING TIPS FROM THE ROUVY TEAM
Training for improving the magic VO2 max number
Everyone's buzzed about that magic number: VO2 max. Athletes globally flaunt and compare this metric. VO2 max reigns supreme in the endurance sports realm. But what's the 'perfect' VO2 max value for endurance pursuits? And, of course, how can you boost your VO2 max? Dive into today's article, and I'll shed some light on these questions.
Understanding FTP and the Anaerobic Threshold
Every moderately advanced cyclist has probably encountered the terms FTP or anaerobic threshold (AT). If they haven't already, they are likely to receive a question from another cyclist in the near future: "What's your FTP?" or read about their favourite athlete undergoing threshold or FTP training. These two parameters appear frequently in the vocabulary of endurance athletes, yet they are often insufficiently understood. If you ask your cycling buddy why they apply intervals at the FTP or AT level, they might not be able to answer. In this article, I will try to explain these two concepts in understandable terms and from a sports science perspective.
Improve your cycling performance with these 10 strength exercises
Have you ever wondered how come 100-meter sprinters are so jacked? It's hard to believe anyone can build so much muscle by sprinting for 10 seconds, right? Well, here’s a little secret. Most of that muscle and strength are a result of rigorous sessions at the gym. The same goes for skiers, tennis players, and all other top athletes.
