In one of my groups rides, there was this chat on the issue of progressive resistance training. It is a method that you increase the distance or the difficulty every time you engage in cycling. It's like starting with 5 kilometers for the 1st day and increasing 1 kilometer each day. It can also be on the speed like 30 kph on the first day and thereby increasing by 1 kph every day. But one in the group argued that challenging yourself is not a good way of training because you are limited to the capacity of your body in terms of speed and stamina. The advice - use time tested methods of training by professionals.
