im 55kg's and almost 5 foot 7, i know tahts skinny but i feel i could lose another 2kg's and i would feel the benefits. I need to tone my body into more of a cyclists so i need to gain muscle and power and still lose weight. im only 15 and train about 550-650km's a week now. How can i increase time trialling power and still cut down on any ecxess weight so i can use my new found power when the road tilts upwards. interval training on hills, sit ups any ideas? my coach has got me onto a faster cadence yet i still feel im more of a power cyclist even though im pretty light, now i feel weak and sluggish up hills. Or is thsi just overtraining.
I know there are a few questions here but im really confused as to what my next step is to improve as a cyclist.
PS:im in australia so the season is starting to hot up now.
Pss: i time trialled up my local hill in 15:31 on big gears, when spinning i only managed 16:14.
a dilemma i know!!!
