Running is a quick way to enhance your performance on the biken Never ride for more than an hour and a half. But always ride hard.
This way you stress your systems but don’t get fatigued. Then on the occasions you do do a long ride, the pace should feel easy so you can go for longer. Martha Peters
Run... it’s a far more efficient way of improving your cardiovascular strength. Then just do long rides once a week. Simon Ridley
Get your gear/bike/food/drink/breakfast ready early the day/night before if you ride early in the morning. This avoids finding and fixing flat tyres or trying to find socks or charging bike computers or looking for food items in the morning. Frank Chan
