Not seemed to have found much strength in my climbing in races/training over last few months.I was climbing well last year, as I probally focused more on hills and done me well, but I started putting some focus on my timetrialing ability over last 3/4 months and probally not done as much hill work as I had done previously
So, my strength on flat has improved but i've lost my climbing legs
Im fine with short power climbs, where I can just dig in had for a short period and get over them, but struggling on anything longer. Weight hasn't really changed from last year(about 1kg heavier, which is nothing)
Was wondering whether to add some big gear training on hills over next month to try and get some strength back?My weekly training tends to be fast group rides on Tue/Thurs(good hills)or solo work out, but mainly group ride as it a good workout and more enjoyable. Best to attack the hills realy hard when out with the group ride?
