Arrghhh....I know...another beginner question!
I read the previous post by another beginner asking about training...to which the reponse was, "Find a coach". I don't have the money for a coach and I am not training for a race, just for myself. So, I am looking for more layman's help. LOL
Well, here-a-goes...I bought my object of affection just 6 months ago. And, I chickened out this winter and didn't ride. I just started riding. I have maybe 7 rides under my belt...seriously, we are talking virgin here. Right now, I ride about 12 miles at about 15 mph on relatively flat surfaces and I strength train about 2 to 3 times a week.
I want to train, but these training books have me lost.
Anyone know if any sites out there that outline planned training schedules for women beginners? My long term goal is to (obviously) increase my endurance, get more miles in, get more speed, not chicken out on hills. My short term goal is to get to a twenty mile ride soon and eventually to 50 by the end of the summer. Any suggestions? If it helps, I am 23 and weigh about 100 lbs and my resting heart rate has always been high at about 78 bpm.
My equipment: Trek 2000 WSD
Thanks in advance for any help.
