Hi /img/vbsmilies/smilies/smile.gif
I am not sure that this is the correct title for this but anyway.
At the moment I am going for rides every now and then, maybe 4 times a week some times, of at least 20km for a standard 'jog" ride and sometimes I go for bigger distances of 40 or maybe 60km a few times. I done a 90km ride once and got exhausted, mainly psychologically and my back started to hurt a bit so on the way back I was mainly riding on the bar (not the drops or the hoods).
The thing is that I havent noticed any improvement at all in my ability to keep a higher speed pace. Or at my speed in general that is.
There is a segment of 10km that I have done about 15 times by now. First time I did it I did it in 20min. After 15 times of doing it my best time is still 20min. I havent tried to go faster but I thought that I would "naturally" get faster after all these km's.
In normal conditions, with a 10kg road bike in alu, with 95psi 700x25 tires I keep an average speed of about 26km/h. I can make some short "bursts" to go to a higher speed, but I soon get tired (my lungs start going heavy and I get a bit dizzy) and I cannot keep a higher speed for long.
What kind of exercise is recomended so I will be able to keep a higher speed for longer periods on time? Or to make my average speed in the normal pace higher? I dont have an indoor trainer.
