I have been MTN biking for about 5 years now.
A couple of my Road bike friend took me to one of their races and I been hook since then. I went out and bought a Cannondale R800. Have been enjoying my rides.
Now I been reading the forum and found many good post on Endurance training and Tempo training. (I even went out and bought Lance and Chris Preformance book.) I took the 3 mile time trail and did it 8Min & 10ss.
My overall goal is to train and maybe next year buy a better bike and compete in either Road or TT Events. (I'm really good at hills cuz of my Mountian biking exp; Just need to build my endurance.) TT interest me because I wanna see how fast I can get.
My question is on your Tempo Training what Gear are you guys working on?
( I started training on 39-15 and have since moved to 39-13 at a Cad. of about 80-95 my AHR is 145: my MHR is 195)
I resently been thinking of moving up to 53-19 or 17 to work on my cad, what do you guys think ?
Any help would be welcome.
Thanks Jsolo
