Nicholls595 Sep 2016 2:11pm, 14 Sep 2016 7,330 posts	Quote Pin Nicholls595 Tonight our club run is listed as "Hill Training". I don't like hills, especially in unseasonably hot weather. So I am heading to Derby to run in a mile race. Might even stay on to do the 5k afterwards. They are both flat as a flatfish that has been run over by a steam roller.

Recoil Sep 2016 3:56pm, 14 Sep 2016 871 posts	Quote Pin Recoil I know this is going massively against the grain for this forum, but can I ask a serious training question. I can happily knock out 50 - 60 miles on the bike, it doesn't kill me but I'm not quick. What's the best way to get that speed up. I went 3:30 at Staffs last year, I'd like to reduce that down by a bit...

Atonal Miserabilist (AFKA TRO) Sep 2016 4:14pm, 14 Sep 2016 13,535 posts	Quote Pin Atonal Miserabilist (AFKA TRO) 1. Ride your bike ride your bike ride your bike 2. Hurt yourself hurt yourself hurt yourself 3. Buy more kit Srsly 1 and 2 require a structured training programme over winter which is going to have some volume and some hard turbo sessions to build that engine up. 3 risks divorce, but helps make the most of 1 and 2...

Gobi Sep 2016 4:49pm, 14 Sep 2016 58,883 posts	Quote Pin Gobi You could just do a shit load of 1 - ride your bike lots in zone 1 and 2 building a huge aerobic engine I am pretty sure I hurt myself much less than TRO so shall skip option 2 OPTION 3 IS CRUCIAL if in doubt buy better kit If not in doubt buy better kit Just because you can BUY BETTER KIT
